Greatest Tires Ever!!

I just put a set of PS2 on my new set of IForged 19's.
9 in front 12 in back...
Rear tire is a 315/25 Front os a 285/35. All I can say is WOW. I thought I would lose some comfort going to a 19 and the 25 in the rear scared me. It turns out the opposite is true. No only are they much more comfortable, the handling in fantastic. I swear it feels like a differnt car. I'm putting PSS9's on it Monday...mostly just to get it a bit lower...If your driving anything but these PS2 on your Porsche...your missing the boat...
I'll take some shots next week...
JB

If you're talking of comfort and grip it maybe true on 19's were the soft sides are not as much of an issue and actually help to cope with 19's but on 18's the soft sides walls make the car wander at higher speeds (even with Euro suspension).

Sounds like a great result Johnny. What offsets do you have with your new wheels? I am curious to know how you got all of that new rubber under the fenders!

David, I just put 235s on mine and I really think 245s would NOT rub...just my guess though.

The 245 dont rub. I even lowered the car...didnt have to roll the fenders. Ps2 are wide so...plus I did a 9 up front...not sure if I could have gone bigger but I think handling would start to be a issue.
