Am coming up for 7k miles. Still plenty of tread but would prefer to be thinking about this before we get into the colder / damper months.

Car has the presumably original Continental SportContacts.

Can anyone recommend the best tyres for the job?

Not too worried about longevity. More focused on quietness, predictability and safety in wet conditions.

Thanks everyone.

My Turbo PP has Pirelli’s on it...would think it has the same as the Turbo ?!

We run winter tyres on a spare set of wheels....once or twice a year there is chases locally when there is a dusting of snow as we live in a hilly area. Being able to use the back lanes makes a big difference !
Pirelli’s good otherwise though? I’m more urban. Looking for grip, predictability and quiet.

BTW did you have a 997 GTS? That’s what I’ve switched from.

Thanks everyone for some really useful pointers.

Just back from a 400m round trip taking daughter to university. Mixture of motorway, A and B roads, and farm track. The car was great in all instances. Quiet and comfortable when needed, and then like a big hot hatch when on B roads. Very very pleased with it.
