Other than DOT rated race rubber, I think the Super Sports will be the tire that all the other MFRs set there cross-hairs on. They could be the 1st true 40,000 mile performance tire. I will own a set as soon as they debut.
I'm on my second set of PS2s now, with 59K total miles. I run the 275/345 combination. When I put my 1st set on I got the warning light once, on a high speed braking maneuver. I never got it again. I honestly think the BCM has an adaptive learning function and after a while the slight mis-match in tire height is allowed for. A wider front tire is not necessarily a good thing. A bulging sidewall will compromise cornering capabilities negating any benefits realized from an increased contact patch.

Great news! I just called Michelin to see if a Pilot Super Sport 345/30ZR19 is in development and was told this it is!
No word on availability; however, at least it's in the works. I hope my GY run craps can hold up for a little longer until the PSS 345/30ZR19 is available. I hope! I hope! I hope!

These are the Michelins that I am running on my Z06 now.

I have over 12,000 miles on them and still have 5/32 of tread. They are also very good in the rain as well as on dry pavement.

I may be going overkill on my 98 vert! I am going to 18/19 inch wheels and need a new set of tires and after all the reviews decided these were the ones to get! The C5 guys don't even mention them. I am waiting for my rear set to get here and in the spring will be hitting the road! I am very excited to see how these tires perform.

You don't think these will fit? They are in the garage and havent put them on yet, these were the recomended sizes.
I will be a bit upset if they dont fit!

For the rear I purchased 275/35ZR19 (100Y) for 19 x 10 wheels, fronts are 245/40ZR18 (97Y) for 18 x 9.5 They are the Pilot Super Sports from TireCrawler.com

They're in production now!!!!
I talked to Michelin last Thursday and they told me the new tires are already in production! They will be hitting the distributors starting the 1st of February. I'm #2 to receive a set on Luke@tirerack's "super sport" tire list. They'll be replacing my 30K mile+ non-runflat PS2s.

What is the difference between these tires and the PS2's? On stock sized Z06 Rims, will the 345's bulge? Do they make matching 295's 18's for the front? Does anyone have pricing information?

Higher tread wear rating (300 vs PS2 220), more grip, but non-runflat. No pricing yet but comparable to PS2 non-run flat. No info yet on dimensions, but they are supposed to make 325/30-19 and 345/30- 19; 285/35-18 is the current widest 18.
