I used Pirelli p-zero n2's, somewhere around £580 a set iirc, good tyres

[wtdoom]

if you can get supersports to fit , they are fantastic

Very happy with my Continentals for spring-autumn.
Nokian for the winter.

on 17"'s they are delicious on a 993 !

that said, i use Contisports and they are fine, no complaints

I did have a brief excursion into Falken F452 which are a great tyre at very low cost but for some reason the rear 265 was really stretched across the rim and they made the car wander from lane 1 to lane 3 of the Mway when you so much as sneezed. Dangerous stuff and thank the Lord for ebay where they were quickly disposed of.

I recomend camskill and mytyres.co.uk as suppliers

Thats wierd... I use the 452 on my 968 as the road/wet track tyre and its a 255 rear, Ive never had any issues with them. The S02's I had on the other hand were cack.. I hated everything about the way the 68 moved on them...
I was looking at a new set of rubber for the 993 in a few weeks so i'll be keeping an eye on this thread and the price of Michelins...

[jackal]

I had 458s on my 968 too... worked a treat but not so on the 993

Maybe its a case of going for a 285 on a 18" rim ?

I don't think i'll be taking the risk to find out.

[Nurburgsingh]

Ah..18's!!

Y'see what you did wrong there!!

.....I use Conti Sport Contacts on my 993 C4 running on cup two rims....I am very happy with them.

Pirelli Rosso Corsa on my C2S which I am very happy with. They were original equipment on the car.

They are not cheap though, just replaced to rears at £550 for the pair.

That doesn't sound right - doesn't the car pre-date those tyre being launched (so how can they have been OE)?

Also, a track-focused tyre like a Corsa doesn't really suit what the OP's looking for.

ive been on s0-2`s for a while no probs with them.

My apologies, my above remark was misleading and inaccurate, what I meant to say was that the car was delivered with Pirelli tyres, not necessarily Corsas. (according to the OPC that looks after my car)
