I don't know about "best" but the Pzero Corsa System "N" spec tires are one of the two OEM tire brands for the 997.2 GT3 (they were delivered with these or with Michelin Pilot Sport Cups). Mine has the Corsa System tires and I couldn't be happier with them. They have only a 60 AA A UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade ) rating but seem to be lasting much longer than the MPSC I have used in the past (80 UTQG rating) on my '02 Z06 Corvette, are less noisy on the road and reportedly perform better in the rain. However, the PZero Corsa System tires are more expensive then the MPSC.

I'll be interested in reading the experience/opinions of others.

PZero Corsa System - the OEM RS tire is the best (for now) all round summer street/track tire. New compounds coming in the spring may be better, but for now they are the best. Wear is sacrificed for grip compared to a regular street tire. The work well in the wet although if you drive in monsoons there are tires better suited.

Best,

Corsa indeed, if you can still find them since Pirelli doesn't make them anymore.

Corsa system if you can find them.

If not, give the Pirelli Trofeos a try.
