Looks great. I'm surprised that there aren't many more 997s with LMs.

They're Bridgestone RE960 All Seasons. I'm actually suprised by how nicely they grip although they are decidedly noisy and a bit rough.

Call me if interested.

Please refrain from selling them to anyone else. Thanks.

Oh, and was I the first 997 owner to purchase the LMs for their car?

is it just the camera angle or do those tires look stretched on the rear wheels?

what size tire are you running in the rear?

Everything is in stock sizes for the car. The rears are 295/30/19. Had I known that the Bridgestones would fill out the wheel a tad less than the Pilot Sport 2s, I would have ordered a slightly wider tire.
