Been looking but can't find new tyres for 997 GT3 RS generation 2 (3.8l) as will be tracking soon.

Tyre sizes: (Fronts) 245/35 ZR 19 (sports tyres) (Rears): 325/30 ZR 19 (sports tyres)

Any clues ?

TIA

There is a guy on the PCGB forum trying to move brand new rears for a gen2 as he has now sold the car. Not a full set I know, but it gets you half way there!

If you are a member get in touch, if not pm me your details and I will forward them to him, they are a good price....

OP, you started a thread on the same subject earlier this week, if you live in Australia as your profile suggests, I would think that any answers you get on here won't be much use to you

If in Oz, buy from tire rack in the US, they will ship over there I think.

Should have clarified. I have actually been posted to England now and bought a GT3 RS 3.8 for weekends to escape from central London. So need the tyres for track use here as the car's original tyres are now a bit worn.

Not for a Gen II but, I got a full set of brand new P Zero Corsas from eBay Germany for a 997.1 RS for 800 euros 6 weeks ago, definitely worth looking there.

Cheers,
Martin

There would be nothing left for me by the time you had "scrubbed them in"!

Thanks for clarifying smile

You'll also find your tyres here

I've used this company a few times and haven't had any problems.

Have 2 x part worn Pilot Cups for the front axle with approx 4mm of tread for sale if you're interested.

Came off my car as I swapped for all weather PS2s. Rear tyres unfortunately are down to the tread wear indicators so no real use I suspect.
