I just bought a set a few weeks ago 255 & 225. They probably are just out of stock.

Just got my CSS back from Woodhouse. Spent a bunch of $$$ on suspension (more later) but we got into a discussion about SSs. Apparently Michelin needs a special tire machine to manufacture a SS and they're furiously buying more machines to get thru the backlog. Until then, they're not available in every size.

Put some front GT3 LCAs on. Shimmed them to 14mm. They convinced me I won't be able to pull shims to drive on the street and then slap them in for the track because the toe gets out of whack when you change the camber. So I had a full track alignment and will go with a cheaper tire (Conti DW) if I'm going to be tearing them up (insides now vs outside with stock setup).

Here are the specs:

-2.6 camber & .04 toe in front
-2.1 camber & .20 toe out rear

Ahhhhh, the slippery slope.
