If you are riding on your original equipment tires, what brand/model are they? I'm curious to see what tires are the most popular on the pile at Zuffenhausen. I'm also wondering if there may be a correlation between tire and wheel style. But first, tire brand/model:

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 XL

Pirelli P-Zero

Continental Sport Contact 2

Bridgestone RE050

Other

Thanks for participating!

(Waiting TWICE,--May 06 and again in July 06)

 

P-Zeros!

 

Michi Pilot stock on 19" Classic rims, C4S (305 in the rear, that's more rubber than John Holmes ever needed).
Winter Conti TS 810S on board now

 

Maybe if there had been more rubber available for him he'd still be alive today.

 

True.
Long live the King.

 

I'm trying to have my order complete with the PS/2's instead of P-Zero or others.

Dealer looking into it for me now.

I could be wrong but different 997 models seem to be coming with different tires.
I'd like to hear from other 2006 997 Carrera 4 Cab owners what theirs came with. Mine has the Bridgestone Potenza RE050s. Seems like the "S"'s are getting the Michelins or Pirellis?
Thanks.

 

My Nov. '05 build 997 S has Michellins as did all the other S and non-S models
at 2 dealers in Maryland where I test drove and received mine. Then it moved to Bridgestone RE050 a few months later. I think it's a cycling of the different brands for the assembly lines, I bet you can't control that but I could be wrong.

 

MANY years ago you could not request a particular tire (I know, I tried). During several of the 996 years you could specify a model. Today we're back to what ever is on the top of the heap when Rolf is mounting rims...

True. I tried to specify Mich PS but was told that it was not possible and it was pot luck depending on what they fit at the factory

 

P-Zeros, but wish I had PS2s.

 

Michelins thank goodness.

 

Michelin's and LOVE them... Going to switch to Michelin's on the Boxster and Cayenne when they are do as well...

 

I've got the P-Zero with my C2S. I suspect the Michelin is the better tire and will probably switch to that when mine wear out. Meanwhile, I am fine with the P-Zero's.

 

2006 997 P-Zero
2006 987-S PS2

I checked my rear tread wear yesterday @2200 miles and I'll guess I have used 40% of my available tire life on the Pirellis.
