new tyres for a 993 turbo

[cytefx]

OK, the tyres are down to about 3mm in most places the rears, fronts have about 4-5mm, I think some places it could be down to 2mm on the rear, what tyres would you recommend, I have seen continental, pirelli, michelen and bridgestone.

What would you rate, the sizes are 225x40x18 front and 285x30x18 rear from memory.

I ask as I have only had the car for 2 weeks its not registered on the uk roads yet (i personally imported it) but I can see new tyres in my very close future. And I am aware the winter is comming, and dealing with snow and 450bhp is not good with thin tread.

thanks

hi mate I always liked the Pirelli Pzero but mine has bridgstone, which are great in the dry, but rubbish in the wet IMO.

There will be also be a N rating like N2 or N3 so look out for that.

Think kwikfit have a 25% off all pirelli sets this month.

You wont need to wait for the snow, wet and cold will be enough to make the car shimmy when you put your foot down, beware it scared me1

I've ContiSport contacts on my 18" turbo wheels and they need warming up in the winter. I have Michelin Sports on the 19's both are great a few people have had problems with the Pirellis lating only 5k on the rears but they grip well! Check out the 993 Turbo register on Rennlist.com
