new Tires for a Cayman 987c

[Lord_D]

Hello together,

I need new tires for my Cayman 987c.
The size on the front is 235/40 18 and 265/40 18 at the back. I thought the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2/3 would be very good.

As I found out, there are no new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 Tires for the Size 265/40 18.
So my question is, what do you think would be better: Front GY Asymmetric 3, back GY Asymmetric 2 or both front and back GY Asymmetric 2?

I had the GY Asymmetric 2 on my BMW and I was really happy with them.

If you think the GY dont make sense for this size, I would appreciative recommendation for a better alternative.

Edit: The car doesnt go to a racing area. It´s just a mix between City and Autobahn.

Best Regards

I've got no idea about those tyres you suggest. I've never heard of them.

I've just recently put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S on mine.

Have the GY's on my 987.2 Cayman, albeit 19inch. Happy with them.

Few people on here use them also. AFAIK tyres should not be mixed, even if they are the same brand, model. Better to have the same tyre on all 4 corners.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I really appreciate that!

I also heard about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S but it seems to be the same problem which I have also for the new GY´s Asymmetric 3, that the Tires are not produced for the size 265 40 18.

From Michelin I found the “Michelin Pilot Sport PS2” for my sizes. Don´t get me wrong, but the question is if the “Michelin Pilot Sport PS2” are really better than the “GY´s Asymmetric 2” to explain a price difference of over 100€. For sure safety and the feeling is more important than 100€, but as long aa there really is a benefit.

Maybe I would go with the GY´s and have a look how they work.
