Its time for new set of tires for my 2006 C4 and I never did this before (newbie, my first Porsche ever) . Pls suggest best place to buy/replace tires around Raleigh/Cary/Apex area. And also thinking for new set of 19 inch wheels, pls suggest some.
I really appreciate all guidance I can here. Thanks!!!
Tire Rack is always my go-to. For tires, they have tons of info that will help you match your use to the right rubber. If you are flexible, their closeouts may be good deals. For wheels and tires packages, you can "see" the wheels on the car on their website, and they will mount and balance for free prior to shipping.

Tire Rack for me. Outstanding resource to start the search. You may buy elsewhere, but the site arms you with good info. The 997 OE wheels are all very, very good 19” choices. Aftermarket what you want? Oh lord, can of worms time. Wheels are up there with oil for passionate, borderline frenzied, opinions. RL has lots of threads for you to parse.
Get your tires on Tire Rack. Have them delivered to Automotive Performance and Chassis in downtown Cary. Ask for Nick. 919-319-3484.
They know what they’re doing and can mount and road-force balance the tires without damaging your wheels. If you need or want an alignment, they can do that, too—factory spec or custom. I trust them implicitly.
Another Tire Rack regular here! Play around with their configurator for wheel choices and colors...when you find a wheel you like, hit the manufacturer's website and they usually have photo galleries of the wheel on many different vehicles, often 911's.
Can't help you with the tire shop, but maybe with the 19" wheels.
Lightweight forged Champion rs171s in a custom fully polished then clear powdercoated finish, though they're a NB fitment, so you'd need spacers for the rears for your WB car. Fronts on NB and WB cars are the same. Rears are 11.5" wide so will support a 305 or 315 tire width nicely.
Come with Porsche center caps but no TPMS sensors. Tires need to be replaced. Mount them on the car with the included tires and drive to your tire shop for replacement.
