Default Recommendations for Good Summer Tires

It's time to pull the snow tires (Pirelli Sottozeros) off my 1990 Carrera 4. Its a daily driver so looking for good dry and wet road performance. Appreciate the recommendations.

I just bought these for the 968. Great reviews and tire rack ratings not much different than Michelins only much less expensive.

I've been using the new Continental Extreme Contact Sport, it's design to go head to head with Michelin pilot super sport. I am enjoying them so far.

I have Michelin Pilot Sports (205 & 255 on 17" Cups) on both of my cars. Very happy with them.

I'm happy with the Michelin pilot super sports and they are relatively well priced given the smaller size of the wheels on the 964.

For summer only tires, If you have 17 inch rims, the Bridgestone S04's are the best value out there.
Great cornering, quiet, reasonable wear over time and $650 delivered.
Purchased numerous sets the last few years...

If you are running 16 inch D90's I would go with these..
