I wish i knew what markings were for a regular or Ford MPSS!...sigh!

I believe it's the same but without that little K1 at the end.

Did you give Costco a call yet? They might be able to hook you up in the exact size and type you want That $70 off is nice too.:cheers:

I wish I coulda gone that route.

looks like Costco may be the move...

Got this done today. Already noticed a big difference.

Looks good Todd. The shoulder blocks on the rear look different for sure. It's almost like there is more of them. I'll have to go look at mine to compare.

Thanks man and your absolutely right. This whole learning process has made me question my sanity.
Differing sidewalls, different widths for the same tire size blah blah blah...

Up in the great white north, there is $150 - $200 per tire difference between the MPSS and the 555G2 for the 305/35/19, depending on the dealer. Cheaper end is online, but then there's shipping, etc. That's tough to justify the Michelins. Importing from south doesn't work with our buck being so low right now. That size is also hard to find so it makes the field slender.

It would be good to hear some more feedback from people who went with the Nittos especially for track/HPDE/AutoX type things.

Here you go, right after install. No dressing or anything like that, there's still a little of the white residue on them. I plan to clean them up a little bit and go
for a light cruise to test them out and try to put some heat into them today.

I've been looking at these differences as well. I'm going to go with a 19x10 front and 19x11 rear setup with 295/35R19's and 305/35R19's.

I've noticed that the tread width of what appears to be the standard MPSS is 10". The Mercedes model is 10.3" and the BMW model is 11.1". However, the rear 305/35R19 is 10.7". While I would like to go as wide as I can, I think the best thing to do is stick with the standard models in these sizes for the setup I want.

All these variances is kinda crazy. Adds another level of thinking to get the right fit and look you want.
