Thanks Brnrdtns. Awesome legwork. Glad to see it worked out well and we have another alternative for these sizes.
Are the manufacturer dates acceptable ? Please post pics and give us your opinions on performance and feel.

I'm sure the dates will be fine as I think this model has only been out less than 2 years. I am waiting for the snow to melt and I have been lazy putting my engine back in my car so I will not be able to review them for a few more weeks, but here is a review that puts the Michelin PSS against the CS6 on a BMW.

I got them mounted up. They look great and by all accounts these are equal or greater than the benchmark Michelin PSS. They should be a worthy replacement for the discontinued 315/25 PS2. The dates check out with both pairs being made in mid 2016. My rims are 9 and 12 inch so they look a bit stretched but I'm extremely pleased and can't wait to try them out. I read that the new Honda Civic type R is setting quite a few production car front wheel drive track records on these tires at Nurburgring and other tracks. It says a lot that they chose the SC6 as their OEM tire.

Wow. Look amazing. Im looking for the same setup but Im a little concerned about the N-rating that these dont have. Im getting all kinds of answers, but none from experience. Id love to hear about your experiences.

Anyways, the 315's look insane.

All the best!
Andreas

N rating just means they are approved by Porsche to go 200+ or so. They don't test every tire but I'm sure these would meet the standard. Their engineers claim 217 max speed on these. This is the only quality tire available in this size and if the reviews are correct they are some of the best tires ever made.

I've read a few complaints that they didn't last very long for some people. Hopefully I can get at least 10,000 miles out of the rears.

I'm glad it worked out. The email process is pretty slow. Let us know how they compare to PS2's. I'm still waiting on a part to finish my car before I can test them.

They do not rub on my car with 315's. At least with the PS2's.
