Best tyres for a 996 Turbo

[Guest]

I currently have P Zero Asimmetrico tyres fitted to my 996 Turbo. Are there any better tyres to fit when these are worn out?

I think the P Zero' s are very good, had them on my last facelift Carrera... but also consider continental sportscontact 2, these were original fitment on my current 996TT & I also had them on two previous porkers & found them very good. I think these two are the pick of the bunch.How many miles have you got out of your last set ??

Although I don' t have a turbo, I think the tyres are the same sizes. I like the conti sport contact 2' s. Good grip and wear rate - communicative as well, with not too much tyre noise. Good in the wet as well, which is unusual to find a tyre that works well in the wet and dry (Yokohama' s are excellent in the dry and crap in the wet and when cold in the winter).

Although not on Porsche' s, I found Pirellis didn' t always seal well on the rim (other people I know have said the same). I also found it hard to predict where the limit was.
