    Advan 052A. Would love to have stickier rubber but that tire looks like it would be diabolical when it rains. Will need new tires next year. Definately M P SS unless something better comes along. I like sticky on the street but it has to work in the rain and offer reasonable mileage life.
    So who's going to be the first to try them? GTS Bruce

    Bruce- The Michelin Pilot 4S is the replacement for the MPSS and supposedly a step ahead. Available in 575 19" sizes. If you want a super sticky tire, though, the Michelin Sport Cup 2 would work great if you do not plan to drive her much in the winter or in temps down around freezing. Also available in 19" sizes for the Maranello. Available from the factory on the Z06 and other high performance cars.

    Don't forget the continental extreme contact that took over for the DW. Great tire lots of grip aimed at the michelin for a lot less money.

    I put them on my 456. They're fantastic for a GT.

    I put the new Conti on my 456GT a few months ago. Only about 150 miles but so far I'm pleased.

    That Conti is a good tire. Purpose was to at least match the MPSS.

    I also need new tires for my 550. Currently have P Zeros on but I've heard everyone say put the PSS on as they are superior.

    MPSS is far superior to the old Pirellis. I have them on my 575M and love them. Unfortunately the Sport 4S replacement for the MPSS is not available in the correct 18" sizes yet.
