Carlos - if timing goes against you and you need new tyres before the Super Sports are N-rated, why not give Bridgestone RE-050A's a try...
They came standard on my new GTS and, so far, I've found them equal if not better than PS2's!
reginos:
I put the N1RE-050A's in January in place of the original PS2.
The B'stones are better in standing water. They seem to evacuate water faster. It's mostly dry here but when it rains there is a lot of standing water especially on motorways. In these circumstances Michelin felt wanting for more.
On dry roads I noticed that the feel of the rear is better with the B'stones. You feel more accurately what the rear is doing although I suspect ultimate grip is more with the Michelin.
B'stones also roll more softly compared to Michelin harsher feel.
The only drawback I've noticed is that they "jump" more when bumps are encountered especially high frequency ones. The sidewalls on the B'stones are stiffer than MIchelin's.
Overall I found that they are very good all weather everyday use tyres. For ultra fast running on autobahns or tracking I cannot tell.
Rossi:
Agreed. I've got them on the Turbo and like them. They are at least equal to the Michelin I got on the red car. 
ADias:
Agreed! The N1 RE050A are quite good.
Guys, I just got the RE050A for the 997S last week and yesterday I had a P-Car gathering with a long route over nice empty rallye type winding roads and was very surprised by the Birdgestones. They had fantastic grip in the corners, the front end was very confidence inspiring due to the feedback and grip, and the rear end was planted coming out of the hairpins. I had a blast!! on the previous outing the PS2's were almost worn out but had lost grip already and it was wet, so it was a handfull on the mountain roads and would oversteer, ABS would jump in in braking, had to leave a bigger marging in entry speed, ect.
The PS2 were fantastic tires (I gone through 4 sets already) but I think I prefer the Bidgestones. Not only were they fantastic in the mountain roads but alse they seem to be more comfortable as well, though I have noticed that ironnically they are harsher in hard bumps like expansion joints.
I haven't tested them in wet yet but Bridgestone have always been good at that and standing water as Reginos says, and I don't know how much they will last but was very impressed with the Bridgestones. Fantastic everyday tire for a 997 for commuting, hard road driving, winter rain, etc. Amazing how far tire technology has evolved over the years.
Thanks for the recomendation of the RE050A
