ever since buying my first set of mpss about 3 years ago, it is default tyre option for me on every car i buy, and f-type is no different (i already have a set waiting for my car to arrive in dec)

just threw away brand new set of oem conti's on my daily for the mpss - even had dealer put on a set of mpss on the porsche cgt i bought out of LA before having it flown home. those US prices make you lose sleep compared to what we pay locally

They aren't stickier than the PSS.

Wear rating has no direct connection to stickiness, because the compound technology is different. If you take an older design tire it will likely be worse on both dimensions. e.g. Michelin PS2 has lower wear rating and less stickiness than the Michelin PSS. The problem with the P Zero is that it is more like the PS2 when Michelin now has moved on to PSS compound technology.

I don't know how many more times I can say, I know the PSS is superior to the P-Zero. I was just trying to illustrate a point, and I'm also well aware that the rating system for tire wear is next to worthless. That was also part of the point.

Summers. We're talking about the P-Zero summer tires and not the P-Zero Nero all-seasons which I don't believe come in F-Type sizes.
