Default Tyre reccomendations please

Its been a while since I last changed the tyres on the 964 and although I have plenty of tread they are well past their sell by date.

What is the current best recommendation for road tyres right now? Car runs on Speedline 18" rims and I currently have Pirelli PZeros 225/40 fronts and 265/35 rears. I don't track it and rarely drive in wet weather but I do drive in a fairly "positive" manner if you know what I mean....

Any recommendations gratefully received.

Cheers

Mark

Based on your description and the C4 TL in your photo, I'd probably buy a set of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 225/40 R18 and 255/35 R18.
If you wanted to spend a little less money, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport are available in the same sizes and are nearly as good.
The switch to the 255 rear will give you a little less understeer and equal front and rear tire diameters (25") which may prolong the life of your AWD system.
