Tyre Advice please

[BrianM]

I have a 993 carerra 4 and need to change the tyres, they are running on Pirreli P zero's just now, directional on the front and uni-drectional on the back, Think they are R2's. I spoke to my insurance and they have no problem with me changing brands as long as the specification is the same. Question is what is the best tyre for money options available to me. My last car was a TVR Cerbera and I changed the Bridgestone SO'2 for Toyo Proxi S'1 and they were just in a different league, even more so in the wet, cheaper than Pirelli's, Michelin's and Bridgestone's. Has anyone used these on a 911 before or are there better tyres around for this car. I use the car every day so ultimate performance is not the only thing. Thanks.

Went from P zero assymetricos to Toyos. V V impressive and much less expensive than the Pirellis. IMO fractionally less grip, but much more progressive breakaway, than the P zeros in the dry, but much more grip in the wet. I also thought the NVH was better with the Toyos. Highly recommended.

Thanks Jaydee.

I assume this would be the same advice for replacing ContiSports on a boxster?

Dunno, sorry.
