Default GT4 RS - What tires from factory?
I didn't mind running through the break in procedure with Cup 2s on my GT4 but I've heard that the RS will be coming with Cup 2 Rs. Is that a EU thing with the clubsport pkg or do we get them in NA?

TIA,

P

Nope, not in US and from what I've read on German forums not there either, CS or not.

In EU the standard tyres are Michelin Cup2 or Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2

December production 4RS, PCNA delivery, Dunlops.

Delivery next week, but tire choice is clear in the production pictures.

Depends on your point of view. It can be counted as a demand issue or supply issue.

Porsche itself is the biggest buyer of tires. Not the factory making the cars, but the testing side. At Nardo, they will easily go through 1000 tires a month.

THanks everyone. All around I think this is great. I've been really happy with the Cup 2's that came with my GT4.
