Hey,

I know this has probably been covered a million times, but I'm buying a set of Gemballa Lemans that need tyres. So I'm trying to decide which tyres to go for.

I need to check with my insurers, but I'll be happy to go for a non N rated tyre.

I've only had Modern Porsches and stuck with N rated Contis in the past, was happy with these. But wanted to know if there was a better option for my 964!

Thanks

Have you done a search? There are pages after pages of information, and most of them very up to date.
You do not mention what you will be using the tires for, that would make a huge difference in choices.

I have done a search, but it come back with a lot of threads where tyre (or tire) is mentioned somewhere in the thread, but not necessarily what I was looking for! Maybe it's just me not searching properly!

Will hopefully be doing a little bit of track work, but mainly road use. Some fast road use as well.

A friend has Yoko AD08Rs on his Integra Type R and swears by them, anybody run them on their 964?

HERE is something to start with. You can't go wrong with any of the top brand of tires, I currently run "Continental Extreme Contacts DW", and they are a great tire for any "sane" speed on public roads. Great longevity and they are dead quiet.

I've run AD08's on my 964 for a number of years for autocrossing and like them very much...great turn-in and very progressive handling and long wearing. I got them primarily for autocrossing, but drive them most of the year.
Though today for autocrosssing the Bridgestone RE71R is the hot set-up and I will probably go that way for my next set.....

Thanks for finding that thread crg53! Not sure why I couldn't find it.

The wheels I'm buying are coming with a set of Yokohama V901 winters, so will be swapping them over when it gets cold again.

Torn between AD08R and PS2. PS2 are cheaper, but thinking AD08R will be a better tyre
