Also the Hankooks aren't in 997 sizes as well if you want to stay with the 19s

Right, but the PS2 is "made for the Porsche".
The Hankook Ventus is available in 997 sizes. If you're about to trade in a lease car, don't think you'd find a better choice.

Well the test was done on a 997 and Pirelli's do come on a Porsche..Either way to me it doesn't matter as both tires, Pirelli/Mich cost about the same. Also, I think on lease turn in the car has to have "N" spec tires on the car..so I was told.

I was only referring to the description of the performance with the PS2's. Seems that although the Pirellis won the most points, overall handling, turn in, and balance were really good with the PS2's.
lease turn in with "N" tires? ooh, that would be a bummer if you showed up with Hankooks then! A quck $2000 "reconditioning" charge!

That's what I'm worried about. I just replaced my rear Pirellis as the fronts have a ton of wear left. My lease is up in about 18 mos., according to a few people I talked to said the car has to have N spec tires on the car. Could always get the Bridgestones..their relatively cheap I guess.
