Picked up nt01 225/275 combo for c4s on 9et48 and 11et48 rims for the upcoming season based on the recommendations. Haven't tried them yet.

That was my most recent experience with the Hankook Z 214...they didn't make it through the morning. I had a set a few years earlier and they lasted about 9 sessions. This indicates to me that there was a change in the compound.

Nitto NT-01, 20+ sessions/heat cycles. Of course they have a DOT UTQR*** rating of 100 compared to Hankook's rating of 40.

Note, the manufacturers supply their Uniform Quality Tire Rating (UTQR) to the DOT. The DOT does not perform any tests for durability, relying on the manufacturer, the fox guarding the chickens so to speak.

As to tire sizes for the Carrera 4S, In 18" tires, I'd be looking for the 305s. They have been tough to find. The 315s may not fit...

35 is a tall sidewall, plus you'd need an 11 inch rim

Jim, I only ran street tires on the 993 so no first hand experience on that car with high performance rubber. I did get a full season (20 days) from NTo1 nittos on the 911 and if you can find the sizes you need they do wear like iron and get better as they wear. Currently running Hankook Z 214 C51 on the boxster with very good results. I would not run either of these on the street.

Whatever tire you run monitor the wear after each session. Flip them on the wheels if they wear more on the outside. See you at WGI & LCMT this season.
