Default Tires

Just bought a 1990 C2 964 and looking to put new tires on. Any recommendations? I live in Florida and drive the Porsche on the weekends.

Take a look at the HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 and VENTUS R-S3 (VERSION 2)

I run the BFG G-force Rival. It's an aggressive street tire, but if I'm only driving on weekends and sunny days, why not run a sticky tire.

+1 for Michelin pilot super sports, much less road noise than the Bridgestone tyres I had on before, side walls aren't too stiff for the road on my 17" cups and the grip is great wet or dry. Not had them on the track yet so can't comment there. Dry performance was most important to me closely followed by road noise, especially having no sound deadening and a lw carpet set.
