Wow that is a very subjective question!!!It all will depend on your driving ways, I, for one, don't like Michelin, I have try a bunch of different tires on TT's and what I end using are Nitto Invos for the street,and R6 for the track.,cheers,

Depending on your sizes, you should consider; PS2's, Super Sports, Kumho Ecsta and Yoko AD08's.

I've put Potenza S-04s on this spring and have been happy with them on my 993, but have generally preferred Michelin PS2's. But as others have said, very subjective and dependent on what you're looking for (street, track, etc).

Just put a set of Potenza S02s on. I run 996 rims and 295/30/18s in back with 225/40s up front. So far I like them just fine. Not cheap.

Check out the Continental options. I'm very happy with the N3's but have limited experience with other brands.
