Default New Tires

I'm getting new rear tires for my 2012 911s. I'm looking on Tire Rack and they have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports in a 295/30/20 for $315 but they state they are Spec for a Mercedes. I think they have another one in the same size but it doesn't say it's spec-ed for a Mercedes and it's like $20 more? Are there any differences...if not I'll buy the cheaper ones but if there is some reason I'll buck up for the more expensive ones...what is recommended?

thanks,

Mark

What spec MPSS do you have on the front?

If you are thinking of mixing brand types I would not advise doing that on your wonderful sports car.

If you still have meat left on your P-Zero's I would stick with another set of P-Zero's for the rear or bite the bullet and buy an entire set of MPSS or MPS4's and really step up your ride.

Get the Pilot Sport 4S, which is the new replacement for the SS.
