Just found a test of sport auto (German car mag) comparing
Pirelli Trofeo (not the Trofeo R), Conti Force Contact, MPSC+, Dunlop Maxx Race and Toyo R888
They tested on a 997 S using 235 front and 305 rear
Results in dry conditions:
lap time [sec] - no idea what kind of track
Trofeo 56.9
Conti 57.2
MPSC 57.3
Maxx 57.0
R888 57.9
weight for all 4 tires [kg]
Trofeo 44.6
Conti 41.8
MPSC 42.0
Maxx 44.2
R888 50.8
precision in turns [max 25 points; judgement of tester]
Trofeo 24
Conti 21
MPSC 25
Maxx 23
R888 18
breaking [in meters form 100 km/h]
Trofeo 34.5
Conti 34.4
MPSC 34.8
Maxx 33.9
R888 32.9
Have tried to format as a table this using spaces for easier reading but all additional blanks are being removed when posting![crying](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigcry.gif)
This confirms my own experience with the Maxx Race. Based on just 2 laps on Ring in a try-out offered by Dunlop in the Scuderia Hanseat sessions) I thought the felt very similar to the MPSC+ . In Germany availibiilty is not good (yet?) compared to MPSCs and they are about 10% MORE expensive
if there is interest i can also post the result in wet conditions.

Apparently all new track tires are only made in 19" or is narrow 18". 315/30/18 are almost impossible to find nowadays. Only r888 and nt01...
