Hi I'm looking for summer tires for my 04 986 S. For street use only, never in rain want great handling without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance for your speedy replies. Rich

I have been happy with my Sumimoto HTR Z II tires.

HTR ZIII is a great low cost choice.
If you want to spend almost double, get Pilot SuperSports

The best factual resource I know for comparing tires is the "Spider Charts" published by Tire Rack. The other sources are anecdotes or Marketing usually.

Whenever you read a recommendation for one specific tire, it leaves the unanswered question ' good compared to what ?' Without that answer, it is probbly better to rely on the Tire Rack Spider Charts.TR have an explanation of their Testing Program here:

For the price I've been happy with the hankook ventus v12 evo2. I have about a dozen DE days on them and I've been happy with them on the street and track.

Excellent reports on that budget priced Indy 500! I've used the Sumi's and was quite happy with the. Tire Rack is a.good resource with comparisons and reviews.

The problem with the tirerack tests is they are most often done on a car whose suspension design and its alignment don't match your car. So cross check the spider charts with opinions from some folk who have a car like yours.

I'm happy with my Kumho Ecsta PS91 tires, which are currently on sale at Tirerack.
