Interesting, thanks for the input. Was Peter Calhoun there doing the presentation? I am surprised that they have plans to provide a wide range of sizes for the PSC2 and make it street class legal since that is unlike all previous PSC editions; hopefully that means prices will fall below the current $450ish range per tire.

I've got three sets of wheels for the M3, but only one is 19" (OEM 220s) which is my street set (PSS'). I'd like to test the PSC2 versus the Rivals versus the NT-01s (those two are on my 18" sets), but I looked into the cost of doing so a bit...would run a bit over $3000 (almost $1900 of that are the tires).
