Tires for TT

Need help on choosing street tires for the TT.
Are there better alternatives than the OE PZero Asimm's in terms of overall wear, comfort, and performance?

One installer warned me about PZero durability wrt flat spots and lumps. He suggests the Rosso.

Just put Michelin PS2's on. They are light years better than the OE PZERO Assims.

Wow. It's a pretty overwhelming endorsement so far.
What about tire sizes?
I thought PS2 don't have 225/40/18 yet.

I am considering the PS2's as well...How are they in the wet?

I think they are listed as summer tires on Tire Rack.

Collin:

I am using the 225/40s. They are not N rated though.

RE: Traction in the wet. They seem great so far. Just as stable as the P-Zeros and have not had any problems. I don't really push my 911s in rain storms after spinning a 1988 Commerative Eddition cabriolet a while back on the highway and totalling it during a driving rain storm.
