I believe this is related to why MPSS have never earned the Porsche "N" rating.

Thanks for checking BYprodriver-- I really appreciate it!
I wonder if the "Latest Generation" tires listed here on Michelin's MPSS page have been improved upon since 2013/14?
Could you point me towards/share info regarding the Porsche "N" rating you mentioned?
I do really like the Yokohama's on DRY pavement. The previous (2nd) owner installed them a few months before I purchased it and put 88W's on the front despite the manual stating 89 as the minimum for the fronts. Not sure how much this affects wet traction but I imagine it doesn't help.
Also had Yokohama Advan A048's on a previously owned, heavily modified Miata MX-5 and loved them but only on dry pavement and could not push it at all in rain.
Thanks again BYprodriver for checking your tires.
