Help me here guys, why are the stock tires on the 997TT so unpopular?

Thanks in advance

 

what are you talking about? the 997TT come with Michelin PS2, Pirelli Pzero Rosso and Bridgestone Re050. These tire combos come randomly.

 

Huh-- I love my PS2's or are you referring to RIMS?

 

After reading a lot of threads, it sounds like the PS2's are most popular (I didn't get the on mine when delivered), wondering if it's worth changing over and why they are so liked?

 

well it would help to know what you did get on yours...the MPSC are also good tires but the PS-2's are preferred in the wet...

 

+1 PS2s are great...Good dry, good wet, good wear...

 

my opinion they arent grippy enough

 

I've had both the PS2 and the RE050, both are great tires. RE050 is a more predictable tire to drive, as they give you more feed back than the PS2 before they let go. I doubt you drive your car hard enough to tell the difference.

 

I've got the stock bridgestones and really like them...

 

PS2s here, I think there great tires, especially in the wet.

 

Aren't MPSCs available as an option in Europe? I wish they were a factory option here.

 

PS2s are fantastic tires. That is what I always recommend!

 

Any opinion on Nitto Invo? They seem to be cheaper but get good reviews.

 

OEM on my 997TT were Bridgestones which were damn good all-weather tires. I just replaced them with PS2's which are getting me through the NY winter, including a couple of inches of snow. BTW, on my old 996TT I swore by the Bridgestones which were better than the PZeros and PS2's. The "new" PS2's on my 997TT are very good, but I still think the OEM Bridgestones are superior in the wet.

 

Had PS2's on my C4S and now have PZeros on my new TT. I have been very happy with them - they seem quieter than the PS2's, but hard to tell for sure since they are on a different car.
