DH...........maybe you will have an eye problem at work for a few hours and have to come to the track
I will see Ed
Maybe I can take him for a few hot laps..............the Pro drivers that take us out drive near the limit. Very impressive drivers as they are both young and old.
There will be plenty o pics/video

How is that size combination working? Any issue with Active Handling or anything else?

They are by far better dry grip than the NT05's (which is the street tire standard), but not as good as a 100 treadware R Compound, like an R888, NT01 or 555rII.

I recently put a set of the SSs on my 08 coupe. I mounted them on my Gumby's. 275/35ZR18s in front and 305/30ZR19s on the rear. I was worried that they wouldn't fit right but they turned out perfect. I've got LG longtubes, NPPs, Vararam and a tune. It puts down 424/422 on Tom Wongs mustang dyno. The stock Goodyears would easily break loose and now the Michelins can take allmost all the power. Handling, braking and overall manners in general are vastly improved. All this and the prices are lower than the PS2s. It's hard to pass up the Michelins now that the prices have been lowered. I'm heading to the Oregon coast this next weekend to really enjoy them.
