Question Tires

What type of tires are most of you guys receiving with your original order. Are all the Michelin Pilot PS2's or are some another brand?

My 997 has PS2's, but there were some in showroom with Pirelli P Zero rosso's and also new Continentals. It also depended on if they were 18 or 19 inch wheels.

P Zero Rosso on 19's. Has Assymetrico's on my C4S and they were NOISY and had less than reassuring grip in the wet. Let's see if the Rosso's are better...

997 S custom ordered car, Nov. build with 19" Carrera S wheels had Micheline Pilot Sport. At the time I ordered the car all showroom Carreras had Michelines on them.

I have a feeling they used whatever tires were in stock at the time of building the car.

Started seeing the Pirelli P-Zero tires on showroom cars months later.

Bridegestone RE050 is another OEM N-rated 997 tire , but like the S02-A on the 996 series , I wonder if they will be a later, seldom seen OEM fitment .
