Not sure where you heard they were continuing this size, but the company says it isn't. I'll be going to the 888s as a result.
As for the OP suggesting the switch to Michelins from Toyo, I've heard the opposite. One guy indicated the toyos warmed up much faster than the toyos. Find the sport cups in 16" is near impossible now, another reason to look at Toyo. Still, there are tons of people that swear by the SCs.

Sorry - I read on the S2000 site that they were going to be offered (as that's a size that the s2000 uses) I don't know for sure - but heard the same exact thing that Ed heard - Carcass and compound of the NT01 = that it never really went away.
