996TT - Tyres - no doubt done to death but...

Hi

My rears are shot in less than 5k miles, ouch.

Currently on Pirelli pzero rossos all round. Thinking of trying something else as only ever had pirellis on my Porsches. What's the consensus, Michelin PS2s?? Or Bridgestone Potenzas?

Thinking do the rear in some different rubber and follow suit on the front when they need replacing - no big issues doing that right??

TIA

PS2's all day long

Been reading reviews on PS2s from a range of car clubs, Ferrari, RS6, Porsche etc, seem to be well regarded. Are there any other guys? Goodyear / Yoko etc?

Only limited manufacturers produce Porsche approved 'N' rated tyres, so if you have an OPC warranty you may want to stick with them. Very happy with PS2s on mine.

Thanks Leigh bit no warranty to worry about so free to make any choice

+4 for PS2's you should really run the same tyre type and n rating on all 4 wheels at the same time you will get 20-25k miles out of the fronts and 8-10k out of the rears.
