ANOTHER TYRE QUESTION

[65 mat]

I'm sure this question's been asked before so i'm sorry to be boring...but what are the best/most popular track-biased tyres for the 964 RS, bearing in mind the car is running on 17" cups?......would appreciate the advice.

SUPER!.....Thanks for the advice everyone....guess I'll go for those tyres then!?????!

[anglebox10]

Yep I would, definately better than these other ones !!

Sorry can't really help you there, I'm guessing that Michelin PS Cups, or Pirelli Corsas might do the job ??

Thankyou Mr ANGLEBOX10...At last someone cares!!!!

[964RS]

I'm running Dunlop SSRs which are a nice progressive track tyre that you can feel losing grip when you push.

I also run Michelin Pilot Cup Sports which really are the daddy of track tyres for grip in the dry.

Heard lots of good things about Toyo 888s but usually on 18" wheels...not sure if they differ much on 17s

I'm using R888s which seem pretty progressive and plenty of grip. I got about 5 track days out of the rears on a C2, using them on the RS now. I haven't tried any other track tyres so can't really compare, but very happy with them.

Thanks for advice guys! Haven't done many track days so just been driving on SO2's. They are due for replacement so naturally I am looking for a more track-biased alternative. TOYO's are reasonably priced aren't they and seem to recieve plenty of praise lately.What about YOKOHAMA ADVAN's??.......

Toyo's ar said to be noisey, but good and quite inexpensive.

ABS is optimised on RS around the 17" rim.

And I have seen them so fitted.

I run Pirelli p-zero Corsas on my 993 c2,they grip fantastically and did 7 trips to the Ring(average 1000 miles per trip)and it was only the outsides that were finished when i replaced them.
BUT...I put a new set on and did a trackday(airfield)and i virtually destroyed the edges in one day
I will be getting another set of wheels and road tyres for trackdays in the future.
