What tyres should I stick on my 993?

It's got Continentals sports contacts all round and the fronts need changing.

Should I stick with Contys or try something else? (The rears have another few thou on em yet so I didn't want to change the lot!)

Don't mix makes, or N ratings -best stay with Contis until all four need replacing.

.........ah!....................I've just ordered two Goodyear Eagle F1's for the fronts with the intention of sticking a pair on the back in a cuppla months.

Is this really bad?

I have 18" turbo wheels and the goodyear website says I should be running 285/30/18 whereas I'm running 265/35/18.

Dya know if it'll be a problem sticking 285's on?
I know one of the reasons is coz of the wheel arches but don't C2S's have wider than the standard C2's?

My 993 c4s has 18" 285 30s at the back and I think this is standard.

Are they 10" alloys at the back on your car?
