Michelin Update

[datadatum]

Regarding the rain comments... I haven't had any issues with the PSS tires either. And it rains a LOT in Florida. I daily drive the GT350, and don't mind playing in the rain. I never take traction control off, so as long as you don't drive like an ass-hat, no problemo!

I'm also going to try the MPSS, should be here tomorrow. If anyone near me needs a set Cup 2 I'd like 1200 for them. Only drove car home on them.

Looking for tires also. Tirerack has 4 different Michelin PSS in 295/35/19, three with 104Y XL and one 100Y XL rating. All different prices. What is the difference between these tires?
Also looking at PS4S. Michelin has a PS4S in 295/35/19. Would it be ok to have all 4 the same size on regular gt350 using OEM wheels? since they don't make 35s in the 305s for the rears?

Cool. I have HEP R on order with a build week of April 6th as well. We will see what actually ends up happening with that now. Looking at Signature Wheels. Thinking SV701 or SV705s. Was wondering if you went with Signature Wheels as well.

I just went through this. My 2019 came with CUP's 104Y front and 106Y rear. This is the load rating.
Since the earlier Shelbys came with PSS, I looked up their specs and went with 100Y front and 102Y rear.
There's only about a 200lb difference between 100Y and 104Y.
If you're only going to use them as street tires, 100Y is enough for the front.

I put 295/35/19 PS4S on all 4 corners with my CS-21 wheels and have zero regrets. I used forscan to adjust the speedometer and love the setup. I did not want to use a 30 series tire as I did not want to lower the ride height any.

I almost bought those wheels, they do look great!

The OEM spec for your 2018 is the 100Y up front. The one and only 102Y in back.

Michelin PS4S 295/35 19 is a spec tire that is actually more narrow than the 285/35 19.

Now that I drove on Michelin PSS for a couple of days, here's my impression and short comparison vs. Michelin Cup2's.

1. Tramlining almost completely gone with MPSS
2. Smoother ride on MPSS
3. MPSS less greepier. Now I have happy tail on GT350

GT350 on Cup2's is like riding wild mustang(read tramlining), always keep you alerted and make you hold steering wheel tight.
Veriouse on PSS is like riding domesticated horse, smooth and obeying. Having said that, I never drive the car on the wet roads. That prob add more danger to the Cup2's. Also, this comparison is for street riding, not on the track. On the dry track, Cup2's is most likely much better choice.
BTW, I have Cup2's for sale. If anybody interested PM me. They have 1100 street miles on them.

Just wait until the MPSS tires wear down a bit. The tramlining gets worse as the tread got thinner. I can never let go of the steering wheel. My car is like a well behaved dog, and then....SQUIRREL!!!

Also, fresh tires will be slippery due to the mold-release compound. No doubt that the Cup2s have better traction - but give the MPSS tires a few hundred miles to break in.
