I’ll know for sure very soon (transport to dealership now).
GTS Coupe you said? Agate gray? That’s very cool. I see you opted for the conventional lugs over the center locks. Probably the better call of you ever get a flat somewhere. Speaking of tires - this was mine getting a “wheels off” ceramic coating…
Car is aventurine wheels are spyders because I like them. More hypocrisy to those on here who would spec our cars for us - sunroof delete and PDK! Wait it gets worse - smoking package. Okay, I’ll admit not to use for smoking but the cup holder insert is a free Porsche paperweight.

I actually went with no sunroof on my GTS coupe build as well.

Because everyone thinks a shop in Hazard, KY will have a tire that fits their 911.

I’ve read some tire places don’t want to deal with them. Also if you track the car there is a mileage time out, so I’ve read. There are a bunch of threads on here about this. I think it just comes down to what you want to do with the car and what you think looks cool /works best for you.

I opted for the Spyders for no reason other than I think the centerlocks are hideous. I'll probably end up getting HREs, but for now, I'm very happy with the way the Spyders look in satin black.

Yep. Not too difficult to take a wheel/tire off, take it to a shop instead of a trip on a flatbed. But, we are getting off topic here - plenty of back & forth on wheels in another thread. This one is about tire brand...
My '22 Targa 4S came with Goodyears in November. On the way home from picking it up from the dealer I apparently collected a nail in the left rear tire and got to get a new one the next day! I had added wheel and tire package when I purchased it and luckily my dealer had one in stock. It had to be trailered back to the dealership and everything was no charge.

They look AWESOME!! And that’s another reason some people opt for the lugs - much tougher to get after market wheels for the center locks, if you ever wanted to go that route.

But hey - getting to spec YOUR CAR exactly as you want it is part of the Porsche magic. It’s all up to you! There is no right and wrong. Speaking of more blasphemy - I briefly thought of ordering a GT3 touring with the PDK. It’s just that good. Instead, I’m on the wait list for a new Turbo S. I’m going from a cabriolet to the carbon fiber roof - so not soft top or sunroof!
Now there's a lucky duck. Go buy some lottery tickets. Good for you bud. I got stuck with Goodyears on my GTS. Ah well...
I have the Goodyears - maybe a little more road noise but not giving up anything in terms of grip. I mean, I’m as big a Michelin fan boy as the next guy but Porsche wouldn’t put them on the cars if they didn’t perform. I’d also take the Goodyears over the Pirellis
