GT2 Tire Sizes

I have searched but didnt find anything. 19x9F and 19x12R. Is this correct? Looking into something Continental's for it.

Yup 315 fits in 19x12 wheel.

I am running conti 2 315 in 19x12 wheel.

I personally like conti 2, didnt try other brands but sure its better than pzero. and I don't hate them.

I am running Michelin PS2 235 front and 315 rear on 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 12 on my GT2. Don't get the Continentals, they are garbage and a compromise to your car's handling.

Compared to what else is available in the appropriate tire sizes, the Continentals ARE crap. However, for slightly spirited street driving, the Contis are fine.

Depends on the driver- for max performance the Contis are a bad choice compared to MPS2 or Pirelli or Yoko AVS Sport. Compared to MPSC or Corsa, the Contis flat out suck. For speed-limit driving in the rain, the Contis are good.

Pirelli corsa system tires have a GT2 fitment. These tires come standard on the GT3 RS and the Stradale and they are some of the best tires available.

never had contis. Had pirelli stock and hated them due to flat spotting. Have Michelin PS2 and LOVE them. Nice street tire that handles well on street and even track. Dont'slet a couple of hundred dollars sway you on a GT2.

That is correct, the 996 GT2 isnt built with a 19" application.
