911ASH Report post Posted 17February (edited) Hi all, looking for recommendations about tyres for a 997 Carrera S . Currently running Pirellis which I find harsh with lots of road noise. I’m looking for a good road tyre, not for track days but for every day use. Much appreciated Ash Edited 17February by 911ASH Typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwoHeadsTas Report post Posted 17February You might have problems finding many options to fit. Just going through process with 996 C2, and matching 285/30/18 Rear and 225/40/18 Front options for a regular road tyre appears to be really only P Zero Rossos, Michy Pilot Sports 2 and Conti Sportcontact 2s 1 911ASH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also would you recommend any particular tyre shop? Best price so far was Bob Jane on the PS2s which is my preference. There's a $100 discount to end of Feb. However, I will try Tyrepower as I preference for dealing with them as I have a personal connection with the local franchise owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also would you recommend any particular tyre shop? Check the prices at your nearest Costco. They've been known to stock the Pilot Sports at crazy prices from time to time - not sure if they're getting rid of old stock or Michelin promo's with Costco. I'd buy them there if you've got a good price and find a good tyre guy to stick 'em on your wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not this time - Search shows Costco's price on 285/30/18 PS2s is $130 higher and 225/40/18s $35 higher than Bob Jane 1 Mike737 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
