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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking for new tires for my 996 Targa. The new Michelin SuperSports arrive in about a month and they look like a very attractive proposition - they are well priced too. However they do not come in 285/30/18, which is the right size for the rears? Would you recommend against getting 265/35/18 (which was the stock size for the 996 until '01) or 275/35/18 for the rears? The fronts would remain the same at 225/40/18. Thanks!

Unfortunately they don't come in 295/30/18. Here are the available sizes: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ot+Super+Sport

285/30/18 R, 225/40/18 F. Here's a thread I started wondering about 285's verses 295's. There are some pictures, etc. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...hat-sumis.html
