In any event, who wants to bet that *prices* for these ultra-high-end street tires will easily reach $400/tire and more in short order?

It appears that the information that member heard in the post linked above was incorrect...at least for 2015. I asked Michelin directly through their USA web site about the PSC2, and here is their reply:

They are all 180 for the Pilot Sport Cup 2.

We are sorry that you were given incorrect information.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Michelin.

So at least "for now", we won't have TW200 $400+ tires...
