For the street (summer) I will be going with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 245/35 up front and 295/30 out back.
Agree 100%

When my Cup2s come to the end of their tread life I am jumping to PS4S. Probably slightly better ride quality on the street. Superb performance. I suspect not as good as hot Cup2s on a dry track, but I do not track. Far better than the Cup2s on wet roadways.

I lost the tire lottery with my G80C and it came with P Zeros. Seemed fine on dry roadways, but TERRIBLE on wet roadways. Not sure if it was the P Zeros or the massive TQ/HP of the G80C, or both? Either way, I have always loved the PS4S tires and will be going back to them.

Why wait, you're just wearing off the value of your Cup2's. I sold mine and got PS4S for the spyder and there was a good deal of interest in the used Cup2 tires, enough to offset a good portion of the new tire purchase. You might be surprised how many people would want lightly used Cup2 tires.

That IS surprising to hear

Well, let’s see if anyone PM’s me asking for my Cup2s

Maybe I won’t have to wait

I'll likely have a set of slightly used Cup2's soon as well as I got in on the Bridgestone blowout at Tire Rack recently. I just don't drive this car hard enough to get any of the Cup2 benefits. 1,400 miles on them today.

@BoxKing This one is for you! Got these decals off of renn-decals. Had them installed by my PPF installer who also did full body PPF on my car and it looks amazing. He also threw in ceramic coating for free as well which i really appreciated. As you can see i also replaced the badge with a Black/Green one to stick with the color scheme.

LOVE THE LOOK. Also really like the side script decals. Emblem too.

Did you have the center stripe installed on top of the ppf?

Thankk you! And yeah i had them install it on top of the PPF. They also ceramic coated it to help the seams a bit. But i had them do it that way in case i decide i dont like the decals anymore. And even if i eventually have to replace them, they were 30$ on renn-decals so its really no sweat. I originally thought this might be too much but i honestly love the look as well.

I got the Emblem off of Poshmark. There was a seller local to me that was selling them and apparently these are OEM parts too as it came in an official Porsche part bag with a part number. Pretty sure there was a shark blue one that i saw as well.
