Tyre choice for 996?

[JT71]

What's a good tyre for the 996? (It's got the optional C4S wheels, 225/18 front and 285/18 rear). Having bought the car with Goodyear Eagles, they don't seem particularly grippy (although I'm comparing it to my Exige on Yoko A048's). Any thoughts? I do about 1 track day per month.

Mich Pilot Sport N2's

I was very surprised and impressed with the sportcontact 2 that came on the 997. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Porsche/997...

Another vote for Michelin Pilot Sport N2.

Ditto, very grippy once they have a little heat in them and wearing surprisingly well

Don't get me wrong, I'd put Michelin Pilot Sports on over Contis any day of the week but if price / supply is at all an issue I thought I'd throw it in there.
