Tire help Toronto - new owner/member

Hello all, I'm a new Porsche 996 owner in Toronto and have used these forums for inspiration and assistance before looking to buy. I finally made the plunge and bought something this weekend.

I am now having tire issues and am struggling to find the size I need and can't get a straight answer as to what other sizes might work! Can someone help?

Currently have newer Porsche turbo rims I believe with 315/25/r19 tires. Seems like this size is almost impossible to find. Does anyone have any suggestions where to look or other sizes that will work with the same rims?

Not looking for the highest end most expensive tire as car will not be tracked etc.

Cheers!

Hello,
Check out tirerack.com

https://tiresize.com/tires/Michelin/...-315-25R19.htm

These will work but, I would make sure the tire is the correct size for the rim before I bought though.


Hope this helps

Thanks for sending that across. May be only option but was hoping for something more local so wouldn't have to wait a week! Tough having a new car that i can't really drive! (My first Porsche!)

My tire size on my 2002 996 was 305/30/r19 on the rear, and 235/35/r19 on the front.
I found 19" too rough for everyday driving so I put 18" wheels and tires; much more comfortable to ride on.
