They will be ordered tonight then!
Should be a great fit for the 18" wheels on their way from fellow Rennlister Overdraft
My 19 " Techarts will likely come on sale then...

Greetings gentlemen. I'm looking at probably the Michelin PS2's (due to comments here), the OEM Bridgestone (just because it's OEM) or maybe Continental Extreme Contact DWS - Ultra High Performance All-Season. Any experience with the last tire? I suppose I'm considering it because of the all weather aspect and good wear rating. Will people wonder what the hell is wrong with my car if I run an all weather tire like that? I'm hesitant if there is little experience with it on the stock rims - how well do they fit for instance. In the end, the wear rate benefit may be mute because I'll be putting on circa 3000 miles a year.

N3 is the OEM spec for the ply rating based on the weight distribution for the car the tire was designed for.
Chime in if I'm incorrect.
That was how it was explained to me by Porsche Houston north when I got my pole position s02 a's last year.

Your tires are what hold you to the road. Never, ever cut corners on your tires. (see what I did there? a pun)

The Bay Area does experience snow and rain. I'm not interested in cheap or poor quality tires. But I ask to see if there are any bad experiences with Continental's quality. Michelin makes a hipo all season tire too. The only time the car lacks grip is in damp. Grip in the dry definitely is not a problem. I'm going to chat with Tire Rack soon. May just go with OEM.

Overall conti I believe makes good quality tires, I believe some have run these on 993 NAs.
