Tires?
What tire did everyone get on their 997?
I got really lucky and got the Michelin PS2's!

997 S with Pirelli.
Would have rather had the Michelin.

It was raining badly again today, but man what can those tires handle water. Not any sign of aqua planning at any speed.
19" Michelin. So far they are better than the Sport A/S, I had before.

Ditto - and I don't have any issues with them.

18s with Continentals. Fantastic grip in wet and dry, but stiff and noisy compared to what I remember from my test drive of a launch car back in August with Michelin PS2s.

Michelin PS2s on 19" alloys.
I think that there are only about 3 tires on the market for the Carrera S alloy.
