So I will have a pair of widened CS wheels shortly and can't decide on rear tires; Street mostly, dry mostly, occasional cold drives, stock power but may get a tune later (stay NA), lots of hiway miles as I live 'outside of town'.
I'm all ears...

They're not even in the same league. Super sports.

I have both sets and can't notice a difference. I use them to commute not drive like an asshole.
One thing I do like about the mpss is the extra protection around the wheel to help with curb rash.

G2s are not bad for the price. They don't handle cold and wet conditions like the Michelins. They won't have the overall refinement of the Michelins either. But they're like 1/2 the price so...

I have to agree with this. The MPSS is an amazing tire. Once it's been given some time to warm up it even works in the cold.

I opted for the G2 mostly because of price, this is my daily and I’m in rain soaked south florida... I’ve had zero probs in the rain, certainly better than the goodyear’s that came stock.

There is a pair of MPSS 295s locally for 300, might be close enough. Any advice for buying used?

For a daily driver on stock or bolt on power the 555G2 is a pretty good deal for the money.
I am happy with mine. Are the MPSS better yes, but for a daily driver on modest power are they worth the double the cost, to me no. Track the car and it is a completely different conversation.

I'm not seeing double the cost new, are we talking about the same tires?

I wasn't being literal, but there is a solid 100 dollar a tire price difference on average.

for an extra 100 take the mpss. I thought the gap for 19s would match the 20s.

straight price off discount tire pre tax/certs.
