Tire advice

It is nearly time for new tires on my '05 997 C2S and I am wondering if going with the Mich Pilot Sport PS2 (the original equipement) is the way to go? It's a weekend car used predominantly for spirited highway driving. The dealership that I spoke to on tires also suggested I have a look at Continental ContiSport Contact 2.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thx

I'd stay with the Michelins. They are an excellent all around tire and are excellent in the wet if you car is ever driven when wet out.

ive only tried the p zeros and michelins, and the ps2's are better by far, if you want oem you can get bridgestone or continental to save some money but i think the michelins last longer too, so they are worth it in my opinion.

Yep - PS2 is generally considered to be the best performing option. The Conti's and Pirelli's can be gotten for cheaper and although some people prefer them, the general consensus is that the PS2 is best.
