FS: (2) 997 Michelin Pilot Sports 2 305/30R19
I bought these tires brand new 2 weeks ago from the TireRack. They've less than 100 miles. I got them as temporary tires for my 19" wheels, because the 315/25R19 that fit my car properly are on back order for two months.
I finally found a set of 315/25R19, so the 305/30R19 have to go.
These tires fits 11" and 11.5" wheels. They're recommended for the 997, 997S, 997 C4, 997 C4S.
If your 997 has 8,000 miles or more, you might need these.
I've no idea what to ask for them, I would say that a fair offer will take them.
I will post pictures later.

I came up with a price. $640 local pickup, $690 shipped if paid with a check on the mail. $740 if paid with PayPal.
The tread depth per Michelin is 10/32". Tires have 130 miles and won't accumulate more than that, because my 315 arrive tomorrow and they're going in.
No track time on them.
Yes, rear tires can wear out pretty quick, but not in 130 miles. In the worse case I have used 10% on these tires, the tread depth should be 9/32" but I seriously doubt it, because that means they will last just 1,300 miles on my lightweight car. They should be at 9.8/32" or more.

Tread doesn't look quite that deep based on the photo on Discount Tire Direct. You have no way to measure it? Not sure if they have this size but they are usually less expensive than Tire Rack and they offer free shipping.

I called DiscountTire when I was shopping for tires 2 weeks ago, and they didn't have the fronts (265/30R19) and the rears (315/25R19 and 305/30R19). That's why I bought them on the TireRack. Their free shipping is for common passenger tires (Accord, Camry tires), call them and check it yourself, you won't get free shipping from them on these bulky tires.
I've adjusted the price though based on the advertised DiscountTires retail.
Look at a picture on a 997 Porsche spec tire (N-spec), or take a look at the car on a Porsche dealer. The Porsche N-Spec MPS2 doesn't look the same than the one on the picture you posted. The shoulders on the N-spec tires have bigger blocks.

This is the 315 set I recently got. Notice the grooves are not as deep as other street tires, or even the non-Porsche MPS2 .
