I am also here. Got to meet Larry and the great VR in person. It's a hell of a tire, very predictable. Track was great, could have used some more track time, but you always can.
911slow-prety sure there will be a fitment for your car, they are supposed to be out first quarter of 2011.

Which cars did you drive? Any pics of the tire tread? Oh and tell Michelin to lay off the inflated high prices and get competitive with Bridgestone prices! LOL
Also could you ask them to either make the MSC's in 245/40/18 and 305/35/18 for 997's that run 18"....also ask them why the 19" MSC's in 235/35/19 and 305/30/19 are not as sticky as MSC's in other sizes? Does it have to do with Porsche N Spec and trying to get longer wear on the Sport Cups that come stock on the Gt3/RS cars?
Thanks VR!

Primarily the successor to the PS2, which will be out at the beginning of the new year. It's called the Pilot Super Sport....and it is pretty impressive. Essentially the same dry grip as the current Sport Cup (N0 and N1 spec), with similar predictability & breakaway....but more squealing at the limit (as befits a primaily street tire, versus the PSC which is a track tire). Oh, and unlike the PSC, these work in water!
And no, we aren't using the Yaz Marina circuit, since F1 is still there.
We are using the Dubai Autodrome, which is interesting, but VERY tough on brakes (we killed brakes today on the Ferrari 458 and the Gallardo). Here are a few pics.

That would be an awesome tire if its as fast as N0 MPSC. I bet Porsche has everything to do with this tire being developed.
