Hi I am very interested to a set of Carrera classic wheels as my rear Sport Technos do not have matching sized PSS tires..
Please PM me if you decide to sell these wheels....
Thanks!

i have a set of the 20" classic carrera wheels that i took off my 991 C2 at approx 3k miles and put the 20" sport design wheels on as i preferred the look of the sport designs. the takeoffs are essentially like new.
i have planned on selling the classic carrera wheels, but am thinking that it may be good to put some tires on them and use them as either a track/autocross set or even a winter set.
i don't know much about what kind of tires to use for daily driving, winter driving, or track use (much more familiar with offroading tires). so, before i sell them, what do you guys think i should do with the 20" classic carrera wheels?
1. keep them and use them with winter tires
2. keep them and use them as a track/autocross set
3. sell them and get a lighter weight track wheel/tires. if so, should i go with 19" or 20"? if 19", OEM vs aftermarket? also, any tire recommendations?
much thanks in advance!

Thanks Mike! After three seasons I felt it was time. The stock tires do well for 20 minute sessions in cooler weather but i want to share the car w my bro a few events this year and also do more open track events. Since last year I've been tracking mostly with my downstairs neighbor, who has a trailer (and an '11 GT3RS). So he can take the tires for me. Damon said the Toyos are decent in the rain but hopefully I won't find out!
You certainly have the talent that outperforms the stock tires...so its a good move.
I will miss getting passed by you when you are promoted early this year...you have made impressive progress over the three seasons.

I thought the ADO8Rs would have a noticeable advantage in dry grip over PSS. Good feedback.
Unfortunately not. They have stiffer sidewalls and 'square shoulders' and they do not become 'greasy' as quickly as PSS, but 10 minutes into a session (tires at temperature and not slippery like the PSS tends to be after 15-20 min), I would say that the Michelin and Yokos have the same grip.
