An old post, a perennial topic but still it runs....
I thought about contacting Emyr and Maurice direct but then I thought its best that others can read the responses here on the forum.
I've just had a great few days away in my 993 C2 cab. Track day at Castle Combe and A road driving to and from through Devon and Somerset.
Thats my main road use. A roads in Devon and Somerset.
So, I now need new rubber on the rear wheels (hollow spoke Turbo Twists). Through my life with Porsches Ive only ever used Pirelli P Zeros N rated on both my 986 and 993. Im wary of trying anything else incase it changes the feel of the cars that I have become familiar with. Ive owner the 986 for 20 years and it fits me like a glove.
But at Castle Combe I did a survey of 993 rubber and more than 50% were shod in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber.
Suggestions of improved grip in the dry and lower road noise over the P Zeros but are they mainly for track day use when 99% of my milage is on Devon A roads ?
Ive also done my bit of googling and read about Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and 4S tyres.
With the Pirellis looking like old technology and the Michelins looking like the more popular choice, I now have a dilemma. Change from what I know and trust (I've only spun off twice in 20 years and both times in the wet).
So, some recommendations please from those that have changed from P Zeros to Michelins.
993 C2, low milage use, Devon A roads, not in the wet (unless caught out), like the idea of less road noise, don't want to compromise insurance classification, would like better wear, will only be changing the rears this year and the fronts at the end of next year.
Pirelli P Zero ?
Michelin cup 2 ?
Michelin PS4 ?
Michelin PS4S ?
