tire purchase advice please!

Hi everyone! I am new to the p-car scene and also new to 6speedonline.com. I am pretty set on picking up a set of HRE 542R for my 2002 996 Turbo but I don't know what size/type/brand of tires to get for them...

The wheels are:
19x8.5 ET 43
18x11.5 ET 38

link to the wheels I think I'm getting: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/s...d.php?t=107279

any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you all,

Bryant

Isn't there a production/back-order issue with the PS2 305's?

Before anyone could give valid advice you should tell us what are your intended uses?

Is there a particular reason for running 19's on the front and 18's on the rear?

Pilot Sport Cups, FTMFW! Sure you may not get 80,000 miles out of them, but they stick like glue . . .
