What track tires for 996 Turbo
 
I have a 996 Turbo which is stock except for a tune, 997 brake rotors and endless MX72 pads.

It does very little miles on the street but o do a few track days a year.

I have been running michelin pilot sport cup 2 tires in OEM size (225/40/18 & 295/30/18).

I have been pretty happy with the cup 2s but I am uo for a new set and wanted to consider other options too. i definitely dont want anything slower but would consider a better tire even if it wears faster.

I am considering:

Yokohama A052
Yokohama AD09
bridgestone RE71RS

Does anyone have an opinion?

Get the AD09. It's the newest of those three tires and the reviews have been good.

Thanks. Do you think they will be as fast as the cup 2s?

Yes, go search on YouTube for Steve Reed. He did a nice video on the AD09
