The new fitments were only made public from Michelin "today" it will take while for them to make it into the dealer network, I will ask Michelin for a date, you might also contact our tame TireRack rep damon...

should go nicely with the:
- 245/35/19(height 25.8) - but not manly enough
- 255/35/19 (height 26") - getting tall for stock springs
- 265/30/19 (height 25.3") - looks good, tiny bit shorter, on the edge of ABS approved
- 275/30/19 (height 25.6) - very manly, might require lube, cheater approved

Finally, the perfect street tire for the 2010+ GT3 RS.

I have been running these MPSS for 6 months now, they just stick in the rain like no other tire, and they are wearing well, probably will last longer than the RE-11, and RE-11 are already long lasting.

Dry grip is great, but not as good as RE-11 (but RE-11 just stick as good as some r-comp tires).

The MPSS are very quiet, great tires, and worth their price.

According to Michelin N.A they should be orderable "now" since dealers have known about these new fitments since 10/11... I'd contact damon@tirerack

Thanks. They're not on the Tire Rack site yet. If available now the timing is perfect

I doubt that tirerack will have updated their site yet, if you are in a rush find damon's e-mail and contact directly... my contact @ Michelin N.A product mgmt say that they are availble for dealer orders ... so I naively believe that they are!



p.s
dont forget that they are covered undre the Michelin PROMISE warranty so you can return them up to 30 days if you have not tracked them for another Michelin tire ... (MPSC+?)

Will do. No rush, it's winter (ahem...62 degs again today...go figure). The warranty is good although these would be used as per Rad's earlier post - street and rain.

Not being a wheel and tire guru, the stock tires on my 2007 GT3 RS are about done. I have stock wheels so what are the sizes I should get a quote on?

Thanks,

Allan
