Tyres for a late 996 C4S

Post by pete b »

Is it actually possible to buy a matching set of premium tyres for this model? Fitted with OE 18" Sport Techno 8Js and 11Js

Looking for 225/40ZR18 fronts and 295/30ZR18 rears

Don't want P Zeros!!

Thank you
Waylander

Why aren't you a fan of Pirelli P Zero? Continental Extreme Contact and Toyo tire R888R are good alternatives as well. Take some tire reading reviews about these tires for information.

My Boxster was on PZero when I bought it. They were OK but changing to Michelins was a country mile better, completely transformed the car.
