Default 997 RS Standard Tyres

Mine came with Pirreli PZeros.

Not done that many miles but my car feels as though rolling very slightly on edge of rear tyre before sliding.

Anyone else similar experience?

No RS cars have been delivered in the US yet.

However for the 997 GT3, the only approved tire (to date) is Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, and I can't imagine the RS being any different.

PZeros?

That seems odd, as supposedly Porsche and Michelin partnered up to produce a "New" Pilot Sport Cup specifically for the 997GT3/RS that would be more streetable...

Probably PZero Corsa System (R-comp tires), I doubt you would get regular street tires on the RS.

So does anyone have PZeros?

If I'm the only guy without Michelins I'm going to start feeling abit lonely.

Porsche already anounced that there would be a Pirelli tire of similar performance to supplement the Michelins on GT3's and GT3RS's.

Both tires are available for the GT3/GT3 RS so it just your luck that you got the Pirellis.

Demand the better Michelins!

Just kidding - but I do like the little round white guy cause he's a dog lover
