997.2 TTS will become famous soon enough
I would go with MSS again. I replaced the PPZ on my DD TTS with MSS ~5k miles ago and love them. The MSS are quieter, have better feel and from the looks of the tires at 5k miles, will last longer than the PPZ

I love the Michelin Pilot Super Sports for the daily drive. Incredible grip and longevity combined with excellent wet weather traction. And if you choose you can track them (I do) and the ones on my TT are the sizes you mention.

I just took off some Pirelli p zero's they are absolute junk


the car was getting sideways on me under wot and would break free when taking corners hard.


put some super sports on the rear 305's and all the issues went away


they are the best tire for street and can even take a lot of abuse on the track!


I cant think of any better tire that you can drive on daily hit the track and drive home on!


hats off to Michelin


not to mention their trade life is above anyone's!

I ended up going with the Hankook V12 evo2's.
Haven't had much seat time yet but first thing I noticed was there is no sidewall protection like the PSS.


But they're grippy.

Hate to say it but you are not going to like those tires on the turbo. They're soft and and get greasy

Awesome....

Well I have 30 days to swap them out. Probably just have them order the PSS and when they come in, swap them out.

go 325 and 245 buddy. Transform the cars tendency to understeer. I've covered 72000 miles and 5000 miles most recently on the larger size tyres.

I love mine! Quiet and smooth and very affordable. I would keep them. Taking tires of and on, will eventually damage the wheels finish. Sepecialy all the brainiacs that work in these shops.

I went to my tire shop yesterday and they are going to contact Michelin on Monday to get an ETA for the 305s and 325s.

I have a fairly competent shop that does mine and the manager always does my wheels.
They screwed up one of my wheels a while back and ever since then, they treat me extremely well.

If the shop has the right tools, nothing should happen to the wheels. I have porsche swap my tires from summer to winter. Though if they ever messed up my rim, my wheel and tire insurance would cover it so I don't really care lol.
