The front tire load rating isn't high enough either for the 20 inch sizes . That's an issue if you're considering tracking them .

They offer 95y and 99y according to Michelin website. OEM PSS are 99y at the front and 101y at the rear - so load rating is fine...

Are these things "passable" in the rain or do you just have to limp home with them? I daily drive my car so those might not be an option for me.

So happy to see this. Was going to go for those after I wear out the PSS's

Watched a vid on the 991 gt3 that had those tires and for that thing to get a 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds then those tires must be awesome.

Not on the U.S. Tire rack , in the US they wouldn't let me even purchase 265 fronts because of the load rating . That was a month ago .
Edit I just checked and saw the new version is there sweet !

I've had these tires before and they are great for summer dry driving and without question, for track days. They are "ok" in the rain, but that's not what they're made for. If you are a weekend driver and do a lot of track days I can see it. But, tread life sucks, cold weather driving sucks, wet driving is passable, but not good by any stretch. If you have the bank to replace tires and want stick in dry conditions these are awesome. I also had cups on my 1199 and they were gone in under 2 track days, more like 1.1 track days, I know apples and oranges, but just saying.
