My Club Coupe now has 10,000 miles and I will soon need new tires. I have the 19" Michelin Pilot Sports.

Who makes the best tire for a Porsche?
Who do you go to for purchase?
Who do you go to for installation?

Michelin PS2
Perelli PZero Rosso
Yokohama ADVAN Sport
Bridgestone Potenza

 

I just took a set of Rossos off my GT3 and put on PS2's. What a difference. I have had potenzas on other cars and the Rossos are better. I have yet to try the Yoko's. I am so happy with the PS2's, I will likely not try anythine else for a while.

 

I have Bridgestone Potenza SO-3 on my ride just now. I just replaced the rears on Friday but only becuase the fronts are the same. I liked the Mich Pilot Sports when I had them on the M3. . . .

Go with the Mich Sports,

i have also only been through pirellis and michelin on the 997 and michelin win by far,
much more comfortable, stickier, less noise and much better wear.
if they were considerably cheaper I would try the bridgestone or continental but would never go with the pirellis.

 

As far as your question about where to go to install them, I would say although pricy, go to the dealer, besides for trusty service, incase a problem arises to your car, such as the steering wheel vibrating, bumpyness from the tires ,, etc. (**** somewhat involved with the wheels or tires), they will most likely charge some type of an inspection fee if you had your tires installed somewhere else, and then blame it on the outside laborforce usually.
Or maybe not..

 

I don't have these yet, but I hear the best are the Michelin Sport Pilot Cup tires. I think these are real Cup tires so they are extra sticky!

 

I started with Bridgestones S02s, went to Michelin PS2s, now using MPSC of those I like the MPSC the best by far...I would like to try the Yokos though...with my new OZ rims...but I want the Neovas...

 

Did not like the yokos on my TT, love the Ps'2 and the Conti Sport 3's!

 

Which Yoko's did you use? What size?

 

You will be hard pressed to find a better tire - and notice a difference - from running the PS2's on the street.

 

PS2's rule.

 

I have PS2s, I don't think much of them. I think S02s are better, but my opinion. I can't wait to try the Cup tires, I doubt the PS2s will even be comparable to the Cup tires.

 

I have the S02-A and they are phenomenal... good grip even in colder weather.

 

I have Michelin Pilot Sport tires on one set of rims and Michelin Sport Cup tires on another set I use at the track. The Cup tires have significantly more traction than the Pilot tires, but they are also noticeably rougher on the road, I assume because the sidewall is much stiffer. When the Cup tires get warmed up, they get super sticky and pick up all kinds of stuff from the road surface. My vote is with the Pilot tires for the road because the Cup tires are too tweaky for daily use.
