Default Tires- 2012 911 991.1 Carerra

Currents tires are Pirellis.

Other than Pirelli, what tires does Porsche equip on the cars from the factory ( believe Michelin)?

The Continentals mentioned in posts sound like a bargain and seem to exceed performance in many categories.

So here goes, which is the best for a non track driven 911, and for resale value if I sell?

In Houston, main requirements I have are wet handling/braking and getting reasonable treadwear. The Pirellis not so great on treadwear or in the wet.

1. Pirelli
2. Michelin
3. Continental


Believe only the Pirelli and Michelin meet the "N" spec , which I think means they were engineered working with Porsche?

You're going to get a lot of Michelin PS4 fans here. I'm one of them. I replaced my Pirellis with the PS4's 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with them, both in the wet and dry. Never tried the Conti's, but I 'd be willing to give them a shot.

Yokohama in 2024 will be Porsche Cup tire supplier. It will be interesting to see if that trickles down to OEM tire selection.

Tire brand will have no bearing on resale value. Only if they need to be replaced or not.

PS4S is excellent in dry but truly shines in the wet. I did a soaking wet autocross event in mine and they are seriously impressive. They are summer tires so as long as you're not driving in freezing temps, you can't go wrong.
