So...my preferred cheap street tire - the Yoko ES100 is NLA. It's wonderful replacement - the S Drive - doesn't offer a 245/45/16 size.

Fronts are no problem but seems like there are not too many choices left for the rears.

Sooo..what are y'all running for a basic set of street rubber?

I went to DOT legal slicks... Kumho offers them in the V710? Or is it the V700...

I purchased a set of Conti Sport Contacts from Tirerack (just checked, they are on back order). So far so good, but I don't drive the car much anyway.

The web site offers a few more choices, I'd check there.

Fuzion ZRi is a low cost tire. I am running a set on my Subaru and have been pleasantly surprised. I have heard good things about the Hankook Ventus, but have not direct experience. Toyo Proxes T1R are also well regarded, but not a "value" tire.

I spent months looking for an all season but to no avail, you should get another set of rims or look for slightly different combo sizes for front and rear..
<-----these are my winter/all seasons 7" fronts and 8" rears from a 91 C2, needed spacers to fit the fronts

went thru this three years ago with tirerack on the sp5000's from dunlop, call around around to other dealers or contact the manufacturer to see if they are still making this size

If you don't drive the car much in the rain, I'd opt for the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (what the new 997 GT3 comes with).

They handle damp roads well, but without major rain grooves, they don't like standing water much.

The Hankooks are less expensive than the Contis and perform better than them as well as the Fuzion or Yoko's. I' ve had mine over a year and a half and they have plenty of thread left, never flat spottted or anything, great deal for $400 all four!

I have the Fuzion Zri 225 / 245 setup and am very pleased. Great tire for the money. Suprised me in the wet as well.

I have Continentals on the S2. So far, they're pretty nice. My friend had Hankook Novus on his 968 and those are useless in the rain!

I have heard good things about the Hankook Ventus (atleast on dry track). I have heard people suggest yoko avs es100's, how ever I hated them on the festiva (when it was pushing 300 hp).

Interesting, I just went through this with my car and wound up with the ES100s. The Hankook RS2 weren't available and after trying the Fuzions on my Audi I went with the AVS Es100. The problem is I had relatively new Bridgestone RE 050A on the front and the tread patterns aren't even close.
This is up in Canada so maybe there were some ES100s still available, but my info was it was still in production.

hankook 212 - excellent in dry and wet, but somebody mentioned this one also went NLA.
