What replacement tires?

I'm a fan of the Sumitomo if you want to keep the cost low, as they are great tires for the money. Overall, the HTR Z III is the number one tire I sell for Porsche in this sizing. But if you want a nice beefy rim protector band, square shoulders, a wider treadcap and grip for DAYS, the Yokohama is pretty hard to beat. The PS2 is a great everyday driving tire with spirited jaunts thrown in - they just can be a little tough to get. They won't be quite as grippy in dry conditions as the Yokohama, but will last a bit longer and be more quiet.
Please call me if I can help.

Are these ADO8R's ok in the wet or are they a bit slippery like Michelin Cup's? The reviews make them seem like a great DE tire but less so for quiet street operation. As well, they'll definitely freeze every winter while stored in my garage on the car and be used occasionally in sub 32F degree weather.

I was very close to purchasing the yoko. For my use only dry conditions they would work regardless. What swayed me was the speed rating/weight rating compared to the Mich. it's not that I'll see 168 or higher just happen to like its made to that level.

Reviving an old-ish thread. Any new input from the braintrust on tires offered today? I never track or autocross my car so all street driving. Spirited drives on occasion but mostly lame street driving around town. Thanks!
