Best tires for all weather on my 991.1
2015 991.1 Looking for advice on tires for driving early spring through late fall,daily driver so wet and sunny weather. A few long road trips, no race tracks so good all around tires is what Im looking for. I have 20" wheels, will fit 305 on rear and 245 fronts. Thanks John

Everyone here is going to have their favorites, but a lot of us run Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
Cup 2's are a bit more track focused and fussy in the rain and cold from what i've read, although i've never run them myself.

Agreed with above :
pure summer and not seeing any tracking days but can still handle some heat and has tread for rainy days and won’t immediately turn into a hockey puck in borderline 40 degree temps: PS4S
true all season for the rest of the time including winter temps and bipolar weather: Continental DWS06 Plus

I have used the Michelins mentioned above on three SL 550’s and two 911’s but switched to the Continentals which to me are a smoother and quieter ride. I do a bit of spirited back road driving and it is generally warm here on the Texas Gulf Coast during the Winter.

I decided to try the Falken Azeris FK460 A/S for my ‘all season’ set of tires and have been impressed so far. I live in the mid-Atlantic so the weather is not too bad, but this helps extend the life of my summer Michelins.
The tires handle great and there is little to no road noise.

Any recommendations for A/S 19s? The DWS06 is not available in that size. Base 991.1 2014 Carrera cab we just picked up with 13k miles still on original Goodyears, which are too elderly and very noisy. 235/40/19 and 285/35/19.

They are not confidence-inspiring in on rainy roads. If you are explicitly looking for wet weather tires, look elsewhere. Source: Cup2 in FL rains. They're not horrible but I run them because it's not my daily driver and I do visit the occasional track.

For semi chilly weather driving, (below 35 - 40°), Michelin makes the High performance all season Pilot Sport A/S 4 … And the aforementioned continentals.

Looks like on a 991 with factory 19s, the current options are:
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S + (discontinued so a bad choice as rears wear out before fronts)
Falken Azensis FK460 A/S
Goodyear Eagle Exhilarates
General G-Max AS-07
I would not have considered the Generals but apparently they are owned by Continental, and there are some folks with 997s that have been happy enough with them.

Michelin PS AS4 allllll the way. No question about it. They would be my personal pick for my 911 in 20s but the sizes aren’t available

all weather tires
I bought my car last month with 20 inch Conti DWS's. They are great on the cold days. I just switched to 19 rims to get a little more sidewall on our crappy CT roads. So will be putting the Conti's on my new BBS CH wheels.
i will be selling my 20" BLACK Porsche factory wheels wheels, with almost new Conti DWS staggered 20" tires. 235/35/19 and 305/35/20's. No curb rash. car has 25000 miles and tires probably about 1500-2000 miles. I think they have a 50,000 mileage guarantee.
