I bought the Yokohama Parada Spec X because they came out on top in the tire rack survey and are very quiet, since my last tires were so noisy. They have been excellent!!!

I have the dws on 20's. 5k on my turbo so far. The only thing I could add to this is that on a turbo or 20" shell, they dont turn in so great. Less predictable than stock or porsche approved. the sidewall seems a bit soft for a turbo.

I'm still a big fan of the Vredestein ULTRAC SUV SESSANTA (now on 4th set of tires, very soon on 5th!) after the first one, OEM that was Michelin Diamaris. Better handling, same or a bit better lifetime, very nice looking.

I'm on my second set
Tried a set of Toyo's but took them right back as they were too LOUD
Summer only though, not winter tires at all.

Verdes got so loud would never go back. Installed conti DWS last spring and really like them so far but we put snows on in winter. I may have gone for new mich all seasons as all write ups look amazing.

Three Wheelin'
Currently running the Michelin Latitudes on my BBS 21' ('06 CTTS0) and they are a good tire, shorter on treadlife though. On my 20" wheels I have Hankook RH07's, for the price they are a great tire. Good wet & dry traction. I'm not necessarily a believer in getting only 'N' spec tires, Porsche can only test so many and I'm sure there is some marketing/payback involved in the whole scheme. But definitely only go with XL rated tires, that is the real spec that means something, and they don't call it a Pig for nothing.

I have Pirelli Pzeros on my car. (295. 35, R21)
Handle amazingly. And handles like dry conditions during heavy rain. ( although I'm sure most credit goes to the car.
Have been told anywhere from $900 to $1200 each here In Australia though.

The PZeros do handle amazingly well but I have yet to have a set which ended their life by running out of tread; all have failed due to other inexplicable damage. They are also prone to flatspotting and become excessively noisy with age. I have found Michelin Lattidude Sports to be comparable in performance, quieter and all have died a natural death.

Touareg owner here, but currently running Yokohama Avid Envigors in 255/55/18. Great price at Tirerack and nice performance in the wet and dry. I have been happy with them. Haven't used them in the snow as I use Blizzak DM-V1s mounted on Cayenne Turbo wheels
