Currently coming off my 2nd or 3rd set of Bridgestone Potenza SO2 tyres, but now all 4 need doing at the same time so fancy a bit of a change maybe?

Car doesn't do much mileage anymore (say 2k a year, so wear rate isn't really an issue), maybe one track day a year if that, but does get used all year round.

Thoughts?

Michelin PS2/3/4 are good choices. Have PS2 on mine with no complaints.

To be honest, I'm tempted to go with Kuhmo Ecstas - have a friend who ran them on his F355 and he had no complaints. In general I am tempted to put a decent mid range set on the car for once, see how much difference I notice, if any.

I put a full set of Pirelli P Zero Rossos on my C4S in the Spring. There's a £100 fuel card if you buy through the Porsche Club. I got mine direct from Pirelli. Good price and service. They're also an approved tyre by Porsche Classic.

They are the only part of the car that is contact with the ground so well worth spending the extra,it will make the biggest difference of all upgrades straight forward upgrades!

are these 16" tyres you are looking for? Because Pirelli are just re making the Cinturato P7
