MY02 wheels....

Can anyone recommend a particular set of tires for the MY02s on a NB 993? Optimized for street driving as opposed to tracking. Thanks.

Best bang for the buck is either the Sumitomo HTRZ III or, if you like staying German, Continental ExtremeContact Sport, which is what I have.

If cost is no object, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Best tire but overpriced and probably more tire than you need for the street.

Tire size
I am running on my 95 NB. I had MY02s and now RUF but using the same size tires. I have had Pirelli and Sumitomos.

So, ended up getting Continental ExtremeContact Sports. Spoke to a very helpful rep at Tire Rack who said could go either 265 or 285 for the rears. Benefit of 285 being more contact patch to the road and a fuller/squarer appearing wheel. This was seconded by my mechanic.

I just put a set of MY02’s on my 95 coupe and shot a video of it.
Went with PIlot Sport 4’s in these sizes:
285/35/18 on the rear,
225/40/18 on the front.

Love '02 wheels on 993s. On your '95 make sure you have a steering wheel rack brace to handle the 18" sheels...
