For my 1999 996 C2. There are vanilla "Pilot Sport", N1s, N2s and PS2s. Which is better for everyday driving, good wear rate, low noise, etc.

I have N2's on the road wheels for my GT3 and they have been excellent. Good wear rate, good grip in wet and dry and even stood up very well to a couple of track days last year.

not everyone is for the tyre size for the 996, so get the higest N rated version available

I think there is one specifically noted as "Porsche Fit". Can't remember which one but Sundeep is right about the highest N rating business I believe.

I use the tyres and find them very, very expensive - but truly excellent. Hard wearing. Great in the wet. Good in the dry. Puts up with track days very well (wear rate alarming but hey?).
