I'd run the Pirelli's out. That's what I'm doing - hate to waste tires, even if they're not ideal. My compromise is going to be making the switch when my rears are done, even though the fronts will still have half their tread left. I'll at least try to find another Canadian 911 owner that might want the fronts so they get some more use!

I'm in the same boat. My rear Pzero's are about done and the fronts are good. A full set of Bridgestones are about the same price as two rear Pirellis so I will most likely be getting the Bridgestones this summer.

I switched back to P-Zeros for the summer and in my opinion they drive so much better than the RE980AS in warmer temperatures. There are pros and cons: you loose steering feel with the all-seasons, but they are a little quieter. There is no question the all-seasons are much superior during the winter, but I wouldn't drive them the entire year. One of the reasons you buy a 911 is the steering feel, and the all-seasons numb it down the experience. Also, if you plan to track your car during the summer forget about the all-seasons.

Anyone figure out what to run for tire pressures on the RE980? My set just showed up at my local Costco so I'll be getting them installed either later this week or sometime next week.

I've been running 31/34 on the P-Zero's and it's worked well, so I thought maybe 1-2 psi higher than that as I assume the sidewalls on these all-season tires might not be quite as stiff.

I run them on comfort partly loaded tire pressure and it works well for me because I prefer a softer ride on the all seasons. If you prefer a sharper ride 31/34 will work but I wouldn't go much higher than that.

30/33 works well for me. When I researched this earlier, the consensus seemed to be a lower pressure vs summers.

Thanks guys, glad I asked.

Just got these RE980's installed at Costco today. There is a considerable difference in road noise from my bald Pirelli's. My wife might actually tolerate this car now!

Steering feel isn't terribly far off. Definitely softer/lighter. I actually don't mind it as I found the steering feel a bit heavy for my own preferences. Braking performance is where I see a larger difference, but, I need to break these tires in before I can fully judge their braking capabilities. I'm having new rear rotors/pads installed next week, so after I bed those in properly then I'll give this a good test on some of my favourite on/off ramps.

Considering that they're half the cost of summer tires and a lot quieter, I think I made the right choice for my specific use. Where I'll really hopefully benefit is being able to extend my driving season as we get a lot of slightly below/above freezing days in Calgary throughout the winter where I could drive the car but never have due to the summer tires.

edit - one last observation - I should have went 305 width in the rear. The 295 is definitely stretched on those rear wheels. It's not a big deal, not enough to do something about it, but certainly when these wear out.

That seems very in line with what most of us have experienced. They will also last longer than summer tires

EDIT: What width wheel are your 295s installed on? Previous pictures of the 305 mounted looked 'stretched'.

Strongly considering these tires for the same reasons to try and extend the driving season of the car.

Many before have stated, 305’s on 11” or 11.5” is the way to go.

many pictures too have been provided in this thread already.

I have the Carrera Classic wheels. Not sure how wide they are, I'm sure someone else can chime in.

No big deal, the stretch isn't that obvious. I suppose I could complain to Costco but I don't know if they'd be willing to swap them for me

So at our Drive & Picnic today, I learned that Michelin has a new generation Ultra High Performance Pilot Sport All Season 4 Tire that according to the Michelin Engineers, has "90% plus" the performance of their Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Something to consider if you are looking for a year round street tire that will perform like the OEM Michelin PS4S tires on the street. Obviously not a track tire, yet they are "W" Speed rated for the Front sizes, and "Y" speed rated in the Rear. Link below.....

MICHELIN®

Pilot® Sport All Season 4

With a Longer Mileage Warranty and 25% lower cost vs. the Pilot Sport 4S tires, its something to consider if you would like to drive your 911 year round. Plus I expect the rear tires will not have the sizing issues that the Bridgestone RE980AS tires have with the 11.5" and wider rims as shown in the pictures in this thread.

It's good to have another All Season Tire Option out there to choose from.

GiuseppeM

Definitely getting these new tires, probably next month if they’re available.

If anyone has them already please share some feedback!
