What he said. It supports Rennlist, too.

I can ship to one of our installers or to your shop of choice, too.

Pleas call me if I can help in the future.

I guess it is difficult to adjust the air pressure because load index of MPSS is different from MPS2. If you have recommendation pressure, please let me know.

F 28 R 36 cold. It may very for you. I take 8 lbs out and adjust from there as the day goes on. The tire heats up fast.

I don't have any experience with the PS2....but do feel like I can thread the eye of needle with the PSS.

Thank You for the answer to my qiestion

Thank You for the answer to my question

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW

I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my 928 and on my Ferrari - good tires.

For my 996, I decided to mount BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires
Front: 8 x 18 et57 225 40 ZR18
Rear: 10.5 x 18 et60 285 30 ZR18

These tires are good in dry and wet, and have great stick. Nice agressive tread.
