Had Pzero's on my 14' 991.1S, hated it after it started to age a little, gets really loud.

Moved to p4s.... never looked back, just picked up a set for my wife's cayman R and she likes them as well.

Since I haven't seen any available in 911 sizes, it actually does look like an easy retrofit with the right materials by a qualified tire shop!

That scares me because it means that my rattles will seem much louder!

For a quieter ride, I have found that smaller wheels (19s) and comfort pressure settings make more of a difference than the brand of tire. Michelins however do seem marginally quieter than Pzeros. Still, the 911 is a noisy car and with the turbo engines, tire roar unfortunately is the dominant sound at highway speeds. Unpleasant.

Regarding foam-injected tires, C&D did a comparison a few years back. Maybe the technology has improved.
