Can anyone please recommend the best tyre for rain ( long distance cruising,) and the best brake pads ?

Given that I managed to order a set for a 996 GT3, you should be able to find them too.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My choice would be Michelin Pilot Sports and Tyre Leader are about the cheapest at the moment I think.
OE pads are fine if you don't intend to track it.
I've just put Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Gen 2 RS after being super impressed with them on my 458. Would highly recommend - absolutely stunning in the wet, dry and on track in all conditions and great value (IMO of course).

Brake pads I use Pagid RS29 on track.
See if you can get Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres in your sizes.
Given that I managed to order a set for a 996 GT3, you should be able to find them too.
Work in dry and wet...probably a bit more road/track than pure road.
So far ATS seem to be able to order them...though I do not see why others could not.

I have Michelin Super Sports on my RS.1...much better wear the the cups,less track grip but vastly superior in the rain.
And effectively half the price even of the Cup 2s when you factor in the cheaper price, greater starting tread depth and substantially better wear rates.
Brilliant all round tyre, surely the "best" overall tyre money can buy right now
I do not have experience of the Michelin Supersports so all the above may be true.
For what its worth compared to the Michelin Cup 1, the Cup 2 is reputed to be harder wearing/longer lasting, more tread depth, and much better in the wet.
Of course, I would expect the Supersports to be even better for road applications (or else why make both?)

I also have no experience with the Cup 2s, but for sure the Cup 1 is a better track tire than the Supersport. IF you do most of your miles on a track, I would expect the Cup 2 to be better based on my cup 1 experience. However, I drove my RS.2 around the Ring on Cup 1s in heavy rain. IT was one of the most sphincter-tightening experiences I ever had. ( I freely admit to being a competent but non-competitive track day driver, so very skilled drivers will be different of course).

No degree of competence saves you from a freely aquaplaning GT3 trying to exit stage left though. Seriously scary feeling
