Default Best tires for my Porsche turbo??

I bought a certified pre owned Porsche a year ago and am about to order some new tires , pretty sure these are the original tires , car is a 2014 turbo.
Should I just replace them with exact same model or is there anything better that has come out within the last few years ?
I live in Southern California if that helps as far as what driving conditions it will be seeing. Thanks!!

Michelin Super Sports for all round driving. Cup 2's if you track more than 3-4 times a year.

I was told that you can't order 255 fronts without also adjusting rear size due to the AWD system and its requirements.

Not a single issue here, I think that it would be if you change the height...I left it the same, 35.

Hey Boosted, just for future reference the 35 sidewall Height is not a fixed measurement, as in 35mm. It is an aspect ratio, the 35 stands for 35% of the tire width. There is a little bit of wiggle room for mismatched front to rear tire sizes before the stability system and the all-wheel drive system becomes upset and very cranky. Some of the more experienced guys here can give guidance on this.

Thanks for the info--what size tires are appropriate if we want to run with a wider 255 for the fronts?
