Hi
Looking for recommendations for a new full set of tyres for my 1990 944 S2. It has the original D90's and I'm looking for a decent summer tyre. I don't really want to pay Michelin pilot sport 4 prices. I don't do track days, so I do not need very stiff side walls. It's actually quite tricky finding matching sets as I've got staggered wheels.
So far I've narrowed it down to Pirelli cintuano p7, or Avon zv7.
Tyre sizes are 205 55 16 front and 225 50 16.

Any experience or suggestions very welcome.

Thanks for all the replies some great suggestions. Those Bridgestones are great value. Some reviews suggest they have very stiff walls and can be uncomfortable, but grip is very good. I'm going to compare prices with the rainsports. Has anyone had experience with the Avon zv7?

No, put I have used the P7Cs in those sizes & I think they are pretty good.
And they're very close in price to the rainsports. I think it's between those and the p7c.
Thanks for your replies.
