I never even thought to look at tire weights but if you check tire rack, it's suprising how much they vary

while i understand the economy of non-factory parts, it changes the character of the car.

Just found out I will have to replace a tire due to road damage.

I talked to a few other local 911 owners here who are running the AD08s and they have been happy with them other than the fast wear.
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.

Just found out I will have to replace a tire due to road damage. The current tires are 4 years old and have about 13,000 miles on them so it's probably about time to replace them anyway. Of course I will repalce all 4
Any Reccomendations on a good value tile (Kumo) and a premium tire (Michelin) would be great. I will probably lean toward the premium tires. Thanks!
Conti Sports have overall been the longest lasting performance tires I've tried (on the track too). The PZeros had awesome grip but wore out very fast. I have Bridgestone REO50a now, and I like them but they weight 5 lbs more than the pirellis - negating the effect of my hollow spoke rims
Pirelli P Zero all day long for me, i have Pilot Sports on my C4S (UK car) and will replace them with Rosso when the time comes.

Did you notice any difference with the hollow spoke rims as oppose to the standard C4S rims?.
... Not at all. The weights of my solids + PZeros were a little less than my hollow spokes + Bridgestones. I think you only save 5lbs per wheel with the hollow spokes... I never even thought to look at tire weights but if you check tire rack, it's suprising how much they vary
Sorry, should have written that better, i meant positive differences, better handling for example?. My C4S rims need refurb so i was thinking about updating to genuine Turbo instead.

The Sumitomo HTR ZIII is a good tire for the money.
In premium tires, I prefer Continentals. The Pirelli P-Zeros wear out extremely fast and I don't find the handling much better than the Continentals, especially on the street.
I'm in the same boat. Recently got my 03 C4S and need to decide on tires.
This seems like a pretty good tire thread that has a summary of brands:

while i understand the economy of non-factory parts, it changes the character of the car. the factory boys work had to insure we have too much fun. ps2 n03 for me.
I'm with C4CRNA -- just got a set of Pilot Sport A/S.
I also put only 5K summer miles a year on the car -- but I wanted something that would get me by if for some emergency I'd need to drive it briefly in the winter.
I push the car but not hard enough where I'm going to notice a significant difference with some of the performance tires that cost more and/or have far shorter warranties.
No right or wring answer to the tire question. Comes down to personal driving style, needs and cost.
Sumis great for the money - can buy 2 sets for one PS2s, PS2s expensive, Continental like rocks.........
Try Sumi HTZ 3.......5,000 on mine and tread looks good for another 7k at least on rears.....
There was a good discussion on this in the 996 Turbo forum earlier this week. Someone posted review of performance tires based on handling (both wet and dry), steering accuracy, ride, and noise. The Mich PS2 was used as the benchmark tire. It's very informative.

After reading almost every page of this 11 + page thread it is amazing the posititive response these Sumitomos get. But it's almost scary how innexpensive they are. I am going to go ahead and Have Discount Tire order them for me. (they normally do not cary them) They are not even going to charge for the shipping. I figure if they last two years I will have gotten my money's worth (I drive aboyt 5K / YR) Thanks for the input everyone.
I get a little over a 1yr (~15k) on my rears. My car is a daily driver. I am on my second set of rears and still on my first set of fronts. Next time it will be all 4 corners. I get my tires next days from tire rack. They have a warehouse very close to Houston.
The Sumi's get lots of recommendations. If I wanted a generic high-performance summer tire, these would be what I'd get. Mainly since with the price you can't go too wrong and there are plenty of people running them on our cars. I saw a fair number of them at the Pacific Northwest winery tour this weekend (lots of Michelin Sports also).
I wanted higher performance, particularly autocross performance combined with good daily + long-distance drivability, so I bought Yokohama Advan AD08s and am very happy with them. They're much, much better than the Pirelli Pzero Assimetricos they're replacing. I talked to a few other local 911 owners here who are running the AD08s and they have been happy with them other than the fast wear.
If I wanted all-season tires for sporty daily driving while keeping good tire life, I'd strongly consider the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires based on how they performed on my STi. Personally I'm coming around to the summer tire + winter tire combo instead of trying to do an all-season.
