I was looking at getting the Super Sports... they are not N rated tho right? (I ask because I did my tires at dealer since it was already there and they didn't want non porsche spec tires) ...not that it matters... that will likely be my next tire...

motor trend's review here: Testing the Michelin Pilot Super Sport - Motor Trend

Notable is that they got better times, and 50% more laps with PSS's than PS2's. The biggest diff was the wet performance though. My personal experience is that PSS's in the wet feel grippier than most other tires on dry.
