Boy, you have way more fun than me!

For me it's frozen dinners, microwave popcorn and a Redbox movie rental. Hmmph. The things I do to keep Porsches in my garage.

 

Consider these results. Michelin 1st:
Ninth: Pirelli P Zero
+ Eighth: Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
+ Seventh: Toyo Proxes R1R
+ Sixth: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
+ Fifth: Continental ExtremeContact DW
+ Fourth: Hankook Ventus R-S3
+ Third: Yokohama Advan Neova AD08
+ Second: Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position
+ First: Michelin Pilot Super Sport

I was talking about a 'nice night out on the town', not a quiet night at home.

 

So TOYO isn't too bad. If Porsche uses Pirelli which ranked 9th, I guess anything above it should be ok.

 

Be VERY careful of that comparison. Auto manufacturers have coded OEM tires (different compounds) that are NOT the same as off-the-shelf.

Check out this month's Car & Driver for an explanation of the automatker manufacturer codes on the tires themselves.

 

Would not suggest you use different brands of tires and/or different types of tires ( All-Season vs Performance Summer ) as each will have different thread patterns. This will affect tire alignment, tire wear & handling.
