You can probably still get MPSS from some dealers, but the price difference doesn’t doesn’t justify when comparing to MP4S. Had the OEM Pirelli in my M6 Coupe and changed for the MP4S - what a massive difference, you wouldn’t think you are driving the same car! Traded the Coupe for a near new Gran Coupe last week, and when I realised the GC was on P-Zeros, there was only one option: swap the tyres as part of the trade. Amazing tyres, with P-Zeros the traction control was lighting up like a Christmas tree through the first 4 gears, the Michelin’s have suddenly fixed this problem. Now I’m thinking that perhaps 600 hp is not too much for a 2-wheel drive car after all, with Pirelli I thought that 575 was 100 too much...
265/35x20 front, 305/30x20 rear, no issues with gear shifts or anything else. When you make the change, find a wheel alignment guru who understands a bit more than factory setup, makes a big difference and when done correctly, improves tyre life time quite significantly.
