993 targa tyre choice

[Black_mamba]

Good morning,
A bit boring but a new set of boots required for the old girl, have always run Pirelli P zero Rossos but was wondering what others can recommend in terms of wear, noise, value, deals etc.

Size wise 205/50/17 F and 255/40/17 R

Cheers

Originally ran mine on Pirelli then tried Bridgestone but back on Pirelli last longer here in the heat.

Was on Pirelli and swapped to michelins. Much much better all round

At this time of year I'd suggest a set of winter tyres, then come March next year get some Bridgestone SO-2's.

I'm having a similar dilemma with my 360.

The Ferrari approved tyres (Michelin Pilot/Pirelli P-Zero/Bridgestone) were great when they were approved back in 1999 but surely there must be a more modern tyre with better characteristics some 13 years later.

The same goes for the S0-2, they were great back in 1998, but things have moved on with tyre technology so would you still recommend them over more modern rubber?

Quite hard (check the "Treadwear" number on the sidewall compared to others) but OK for normal road use, really not good on track, Pirelli better, Michelin better again (I've not used SO-2's on track ARAIK).
