I second the PS2's. Little pricey but worth every penny and on most Porsche boards they consistently rank #1.

I hated my Zero's, pulled them off at 60-70% remaining and sold them for $400. Bought PS2's, much better tire. I also have MPSC, which are really good in dry, haven't tried Nitto's but they look cool.

PS2 all the way!! I've had 2 sets of pzero's, not impressed in any aspect.

There is a lot of buzz about Veredestein tires- but I have not seen any posts up yet from 6speeders using them.

If you track the car, there is no choice.
It's PS2's since none of the others are nearly as good on the track.

What is the average miles one gets from the P2's, average use, no track use.

Absolutely.

It boosted the mpg on my 530 3 mpg!

Quiet ride, smooth, and reliable.

Same on my 360.
