Michelin Sport Cups in 19\"???

I heard a rumor a while back the Michelin was going to offer the Sport Cup in a size that would fit the stock SRT-10 rims.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Nope.

Greasy tire in any case.

Why do you say greasy tire? Is there something better for the street? Not drag radial as I like to turn also.

The only sticky competition type tire I've heard of in stock sizes is the new Hoosier A6/R6:

But I've yet to hear of anyone trying them on the track or street.

Looks like the Hoosier would be good for the track, but not suitable for the street. The thing I like about the Sport Cup is the versatility. Good for road or track and even good in the rain. There was a big wrhp Supra at Pocono (north course) a few weeks ago using sport cups and the cars grip and handling were amazing. I was very impressed with the tire and would buy them in a minute if they had them in 19x345 size.
