I bought some 16” wheels for my 993 as spares but they need new tyres. They currently have Bridgestone S01 on the front and ContiSport at the back and all 4 need to be replaced.

The wheels are used as spares as for autumn and winter use mainly so good grip in cool/damp conditions is preferable along with good comfort and low noise. I will only do a few thousand miles a year on these so wear isn’t an issue.

The only choices out there seem to be:

Bridgstone S02 N3 (£400)
ContiSport N1 (£400)
Michelin Pilot SX MXX3 N2 (£460)

Any recommendations?

In those compounds i'd take the Bridgstones. If you could get an N2 Conti i'd take that but the N1 Conti isn't as good as the N3 SO2.

I was going to go for the Bridgestone too, as they have the highest N number wobble
