Default Pilot Sport 2?

What front tires are people using who have the pilot sport 2's? Was going to get new tires and was told they don't make a N rated tire for the fronts in the ps2. The rears they do.

What ever will work on a 02 c4s. I was looking at the 225/40 ZR18 which is what was on the car when I bought it, but those are just the pilot sports, not the 2's.

I currently have 235/40/18 on the front with 8" wide wheels and 295/30/18 on the rear qith 10" wheels. I love 'em!

the 235 is made in N2 and should fit the front of most any 21st century model 911 with 18" wheels

I just put on some new PS2's from the Tire Rack. Fronts are 235/35ZR-19, 8.5, rears are 275/30ZR-19, 10.

Tire Rack was great to deal with. Bought new wheels too. Everything came mounted and balanced and ready to go. Except I need an alignment now.

When I back out of the driveway and have the steering wheel turned tight I get a slight rubbing on them. Otherwise, they look and feel great.

I have no rubbing issues. The 235's will help reduce under steer.
