Need more info, are they 19" ?
If so, I like front 245 and rear 315 in Continental or Michelin.
I have the Conti's now and like them but I may go with the Michelin's next time as I have had them on my Ferrari's and Bimmers and love them.

yes they are the factory 997TT wheels. Would you suggest the 315/25 on the rear and the 245/25 on the front and do you believe I need spacers? thx

That is a question that I cannot answer, but my guess is that you dont need them-

That sounds like a great deal...I have not looked at the Toyos so I might have to check them out at the rate that these cars go through rears, the Conti's and Michelins are expensive.
Thanks for the heads up.
