Tire choice for 20x9.5 & 20x11
Hi everyone,
This is my very first post! I just got a 2011 Panamera 4. I currently have 255/45R19 tires at the front and 285/40R19 at the rear. I am looking to install new 20in rims. The rims I ordered are 20x9.5 at the front and 20x11 at the rear. However, I have no idea which tires should I choose. I drive the car normally on the road and like comfort (I am not driving very fast to be honest, I just love Porsche and want to take great care of this car). I live in Florida so the weather is usually warm / hot. I am also hoping not to spend too much on tires. Is there a tire size you would recommend? I am not sure how should I choose them..
Thanks for your help!!

285/35.20 Front, 295/35.20 Rear
A low price is tough to find in a tire size like 295/35 because of the limited stock (no one is looking for a cheap tire for their Corolla, Civic, etc. in that size so the options are limited.) But really, cheap tires are for golf carts. There is nothing between you and the cold hard pavement then your tires, spend the money and get the best. I only run Michelin, but there are adequate tires from other manufactures. You can get a set of Toyos for less than $200 each and they aren't horrible tires, just not spectacular. I just spent $1,500 on a set of Michelin Alpin 5 winter tires, but I absolutely must travel for work and children in PNW weather (divorce) so it's worth every penny to me.

Racer
Front:
Size Diameter Width
255/40R20 Equal 28" 10.0"
Rear:
Size Diameter Width
285/35R20 -0.4%. 27.9" 11.2"
295/35R20 +0.4% 28.1" 11.6"
In the 255 and 285 combo, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 is a great summer tire. The extremely popular Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is also available. Those would be my top two choices, with a preference for the Michelin.
In the 255 and 295 combo, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is your best option.

Had PS4S on my car and I was impressed. Excellent dry traction and good wet braking. I'm planning to buy another set when I change my wheels and tires next month.
