Heya everybody, my 997.2 C2S is getting new tires all round next year, and wanted to share my thoughts and maybe get some feedback on what I’m planning:

Sizes would be the same for both sets, 235/35R19 front and 295/30R19 back.

For the summer set I would go for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. This is obviously the preferred tire in pretty much all communities, no question about that. Only thing that made me question this is the fact that in my size, these do not come with an N-rating. The best N-rated tire would probably be the Pilot Sport 2, but I worry that the N-rating does not justify picking such an old construction?

For winter I was looking at the Hankook Winter I*CEPT EVO3 (W330). Again, best N-rated tire (Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II) is an ancient construction, and in addition to that very expensive in comparison to the Hankook. From all tests I’ve seen so far the Hankook seems to perform very well, but most of these test are obviously performed on different tire sized than what I need. If anyone already has these on their 911, I’d greatly appreciate feedback!

Thanks for reading!
