Tires for 03 996

Mine came from the factory with the 18" Continental ContiSportContact 2 N2 tires.

Looking at Michelin Pilot Sports for my next set, but there are two Porsche OE tires. The N0 and N1, with the N1 being the Pilot Sport Rib.

Any feedback on one over the other? TIA

My C4S came with new PS2.
Check them out.

PS2 does not have fitments for a non-turbo/C4S 996. (The rears are 295 and should be 285)

Greyghost is infamous around these parts

Go to tire rack and check all the stats on your size. I have Pirelli P-Zeros and they are pretty good. We'll see how long they last.

I've been on tirerack and have order tons of tires from them in the past. I know I want the Pilots, I just don't know which ones. The N0 or the N1. The tread is very different.
