Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS
#151
On Monday I ordered a set of these Bridgestones for my 991 from Discount Tire, got a great deal as well since it was a Black Friday promotion and also they price-matched Costco.
Cost me $1,139 plus I will be getting a VISA card with 10% rebate. This includes the extra insurance for damage/punctures.
Doesn't seem to be a shortage of them as 3 days later they are at the store ready to be fitted.
My only problem now is getting a time slot to have them installed Discount Tire are very busy at the moment.

Had my Bridgestones finally fitted today, what a difference! Much quieter, smoother riding and more grippy than the P-Zeroes, at least in the current temps we are having in Seattle which are mid-40’s. Bonus is I think the ‘acorn’ effect at parking speeds on full lock has disappeared too.
Those Pirellis I had on the car were the devil’s tires! 😆

I am looking for 295/30/20 RE980AS for Cayman GT4. I can't find anyone (Tire Rack or local Denver area) which has these tires in this size. Does anyone have a source with a good stock of these tires?
A local shop called the manufacturer who said that they are not making these size or had a very limited production of that size.

Thanks. I decided that I wanted to use Tire Rack, so I ordered the OZ Leggera wheels with the Michelin Pilot Alpine PA4 tires. This option is more costly, but, after thinking about it, I feel more comfortable getting a complete wheel/tire set from one source. That way, should a problem develop, I can deal with only one entity to resolve the situation.
Thanks for your time and response.

Good call on getting the entire set from Tire Rack. I've ordered several full sets from them over the last three years. The only time I had a slight issue was some very minor scratches one one of the wheels due to poor packaging. It was for my autocross/track setup anyway.

YUp, it seems they produce early in the year, because last year they were already out in October and did not restock until late February. So one disadvantage of running these tires is that yo uhave to plan ahead for replacements.
