Default What Brand of Tires Are On Everyone's 997TT?

For those of you that have taken delivery, what brand of tires are showing up on the 997TTs?

When I ordered my 2001 996TT, the cars were coming out with either Continental SportContact 2s or the Pirelli PZero.

My car had the Continentals and I stuck with them thru three sets in the 14k miles on the car now. Mine never really showed any significant wear - I would pick up a nail and would just replace them all. Didn't want to think about a patch job on the few, brief moments I get a chance the let the 996TT tag 120 or so on a beautiful wide open, divided six lane road here in San Diego

Default PS2s

The PS2s have lots of good features, one is a dual compound for both warm and cold traction. And they are good in the rain. I used them on the track in another car and they were great.

Bridgestone RE050a, I have about 1100 miles on the car and they have been great. I just did my first drive in the rain and they were great.

I took delivery in early November and my car had Bridgestone RE50a's. At delivery I installed 20" Champion RG5's with Michelin P2S's. I like the P2S's

What sizes are your tires? I wasn't aware that you could get PS2s in 20" with 305 width.

PS2s here and for the record, all 4 michelins are some 14 pounds lighter than the RA50s according to tirerack, that's a lot of unsprung weight.

I utilized the following:
Front 245/30x20
Rear 325/25x20
They also offer 315's for the rear
