I have the Sumitomo HTRZ II on mine, and they seem fine to me, but I do not have enough seat time with other tires to know the difference (they were new when I bought the car).

let me know if you find a decent stretch of road. ugh!

No, the C2 & C2S models are narrow body cars.

Interresting Tim, I also thought that C2S was a wide body car with a bigger engine in the back. But I think that the 997 C2S is wider than the 996 C2, right?

all NB 997 are wider than a 996... but, slightly less than a WB 996.
