Interesting. When I called them earlier this week they only had 295/35s and not 295/30s (which aren't listed on their online size chart).

^^^^^ I called first thing today. Maybe she miss understood me but I thought I was pretty clear. I took a pass as the price was to high for what I am trying to accomplish.

The guys at Tire Rack just emailed me and said they will have that size in 2-3 months in that tire...on back order.

This may sound silly, but I just placed an order for the PSC2s knowing that its going to be months before I get them. I feel some Michelin hoarding coming on in the next 6 months from GT4 owners.

Great! Now we have to go through a tire allocation battle

I am going to order a set of tires tomorrow as well ... I will use them sooner than later. I am in FL so the season is always open. Hopefully by spring they will have this problem resolved before all the snowbirds start to track their cars.

Yeah and somehow I feel like Im part of the problem, where as car allocation battles were all Porsches...sux. Lets hope that like LWBs this is a temporary worry that all of us can get worked up about and then it will be fixed quickly.

Porsche has mentioned that the GT4 version is unique (designed specifically for the GT4), but does anyone know what the differences are?

I have them on my 996TT, pretty sticky in general, but I think in the realm of track day street legal tires there are better options, only other tire I have run on my 996TT is Sumitomo HTR Z III.

Um. Something odd just happened. Tire Rack just shipped me some tires, the same ones that they told me were on backorder. Did I get the wrong wear rating? I know it seems silly, but Im dead sure I got the right thing, anyone else catching an error that Im overlooking?

Those are the correct model. ("N0")

This is what I was saying - they are not "backordered." They have a supply chain awareness issue. Mine arrived last night. BUT, I'd imagine if we swarmed on it now, they would be truly backordered.
