Default High Performance All-Season Tires

I am looking to put a good set of all season tires on the car. I like the Continental DWS but they do not appear to come in the correct rear size.
Fronts are no problem. Is there any other good options? I cant seem to find any. What about a slightly different rear size? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

DWS fit and come in the acceptable sizes for both 17 and 18 inch rims for the 996. What size you are trying to get?

Hi- I am running Yokohama Advan Sport a/s on my 99 c2 and am beyond pleased. I live in the Midwest and with the temperature changes they are very predictable. The rears are 265/35-18

Thanks for the replies.

I needed 285/30/18 and the continental does not come in that size.

Like some one else said they went with the 265/35/18 I just didn't want to loose the 20mm width.

Buy 285/35/18, they fit just fine. My car had that size on the rears and it drove great.

I had AS3+ on mine (17" wheels) briefly, before I went to MPSS and 18" wheels. They were pretty decent, but I don't think they have the correct rear tire size in 18".

Yup, what JayG said. The Hankooks are NOT all-season tires. Unless you enjoy being terrified.
