Lots of good advice above, Richard.
Over all of our years (my friends and I) and many 911s, my view is simple, although like oil recommendations, it's a can of worms.
Best is purely subjective but I'll use that word anyway :grin: ,
Best road tyre with N rating - Michelin PS2.
Best road tyre if you don't buy into the N rating - Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
During normal road driving though lots of others come close. My car is wearing P zero Rossos at the moment which lots of people slate yet for normal to quick road driving they seem fine.
When I fit my refurbished GT3 rims next year I'm fitting Federal 595 RSRs. The haters will mock but these things are awesome. £390 per set versus £800 for the MPSS and they aren't far behind at all.
Doubt I'd put them on a daily car for winter as caution is needed for standing water but for my sunny day summer car they'll be good.
If I thought I'd be selling the car I'd fit PS2s as some fussy buyers are still hell bent on the N rating. You don't need to be though and your
Insurance company aren't interested in it, but I won't open that debate here.
As long as you're running 7.5/8 fronts and 10 inch rear 18 inch rims the tyre sizes are -
Front 225/40 R18
Rear 285/30 or 265/35
My C2 is currently on the 265s and they do look stretched.
My MK1 GT3 with same size rears wore 285s and they looked much squarer and betterer in my opinion.
uh:
Camskill online always seem cheapest for me but then you have fitting on top. Black circles used to be good and I think they have fitting "partners" all over.
Edited to add - The above is my view on tyres upto 996 era cars. After that I'm not sure as although my friends have owned new GT3s, GT4s etc I have only owned upto 996 era and older.
I think there are other options for the newer cars, such as Michelin Cups etc.
