Understood. I put Kumohs on my Cayenne S and I like them much better than the N rated Continentals (2 sets) and the Cayenne is very sensitive to tires. They are holding up better, quieter, and handle as well or better. I've used the various non-N Bridgestone Pole Positions for years on my Carreras and they have been great so I'm not an advocate for the N rating as being superior. I decided to give Michelin a try after a bad set of Bridgestones on my Mercedes; can't remember the model but they slid allover the road whenever it rained. I've had two sets of Sumitomo on my SLK and they have performed well.

My 993's were all narrow bodies so I could only get 285's in the rear after lowering to euro specs. Always was a huge fan of the arena red.
