So for ultimate performance on a dry track the PSC is still a better choice than the PSC+.
BMW claims that the PSC+ should be considered as a better PS2 and nowhere near a real performance tire (P Corsa comes to mind). Nonetheless I agree that the gap between PS2 and PSC+ will be larger than between PSC and PSC+.
For some background of the used compound this short article E linked some months ago: http://www.reifenpresse.de/CDML007/e...97&RecID=14471

Thanks for that South, I don't knw how I missed that, especially when I was on that very page.
I noticed that there is three versions of CUP tyres, the original, the plus and the N0. The original covers the smaller rims sizes while the plus and N0 covering the larger sizes.
I try to discover the exact difference between them over the next few days, as I have a Michelin factory just a few miles away with a friend who is quite high up.
