New tyre time approaching.. PSS?

[SteveS]

So i hear great things about the PSS, they dont come in the exact specification for the GTI but from reading. 88 is fine anyway.

From Michs site, http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-pilot-super-sport#tab-tyres-sizes - Closest they do is:
225    40    R 18    88    Y    *    F    B       71dB

No 235 available in 40 R18 so that's out.

So from what i have read the tyre is fine to run on a GTI (ed30) ?

Hi,
225/40/18 92y will be available in October if you can hang on !

As with any modification you would need to tell your insurance company.

I have the 88Y on, great tyre and no issues.

88y is a track tyre though isn't it?
The PSS is a summer but all reports show great all round

I don't think so.. isn't 88 the load index so they are just not able to carry as much load/weight as the 92 spec tyre?
