991 Replacement Tyres

[Ady128]

I've managed so far to do 16,000 miles on the original tyres on my car. It has just had it's 1st service and my OPC reckon I've got another 6,000 left on them. Question is: do I put Goodyears on again or something else?

I wouldn't fit Goodyears to my Insignia.

Michelins!

If you can get 22k miles from a set of tyres you're not driving the car properly!

Blimey Riley.....a possible 22k miles from a set of 991 tyres....must be a record shirley.......

Goodyear? How did you get Goodyear? I thought all 991 comes with Pirelli P-Zero?

My 991 s rear tyres are at 5mm at 9000 miles. This is the rears. They start at 7mm. So at 4500 miles per mm I could theoretically get 22500 from a set if I run them down to 2mm.
I'll be changing around the 12k mark though.

I thought that, but it came with Goodyears.

19" goodyears
20" pirellis but possible to fit Michelin psc2 from gt3

Goodyear Eagle F1s generally come out very well in the various comparative reviews, but don't seem to offer many 'N' spec sizes, so you don't often see them on Porsches.

They are also specifically highly rated for low road noise and ride comfort, if that's important.
