Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Leading evidence: 'size' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'size' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check different sku/part number' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I have been very happy with the Ventus V12 Evo2's I run on my 996.

Suggestion
I would get between 15k and 20k a set on the rears, almost 30k on the fronts.
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.

I've been a Michelin pilot sport guy for a long time. So to my disappointment, the pilot sport ps2 and super sport aren't available in a 295/30/18. Anyone have any personal suggestions for this car? No track time really. Just enjoyable street driving.
Another vote for Sumi's. On my second set. Some say they're noisy, but I hate excessive road noise and these are fine by me. $300 for a set of rears is a deal in my book. Expect about 15k for street work.
I have sumi tires on the car now. They're good but they're old tires. They're ok tires. Just looking for something more aggressive. Can a 305/30/18 for on to the stock wide body turbo twists?
Another reference point to consider: I thought Sumis were awful on my C4S. I will never buy them again. I like Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s the best. It's unfortunate that you can't find them. I'm not a fan of Pirelli P-Zeros. What about Dunlops or Hankooks?
I called Michelin directly and asked about the "back order" status. They said they have stopped production of this size with no time frame of restarting them any time soon. It's a small amount of choices for this size. Sucks.
I've been thru a few sets of yoko ad08r, you can get them from discount tire direct. Best dual purpose tire out there. If you're looking for aggressive these are it. 180 tread wear rating... Close to r comp grip and can handle rain with no issues
I have a new set of Sumitomos HTR ZIII. On my previous 993, I used
the Korean tire Kuhmos. Virtually same cost as Sumitomos.
I would get between 15k and 20k a set on the rears, almost 30k on the fronts.
I have Continental Extremes 0n my Cab4< they stick like glue and are quiet. I've had the top down all winter, so I've been enjoying the mechanical sounds of my "Hot Rod VW'. That was a direct quote from a disgruntled Mustang driver after I sucked him up and spit him out in a very spirited stop light encounter. Consider the Contis you wont be sorry.
I think the overwhelming response for the sumis are working. Good reviews, price that you can't beat, and they're in stock. I guess I'm sold. Plus I keep forgetting that I have a wedding that I have to pay for haha. Thanks guys.
My understanding is that the PS2 N2 rear tires are no longer available, the N3 and N4 tires are available
I just mounted a set of Michelin PS2 295/30/18 N3s on my 2002 C4S
My local supplier was able to get them no problem
Ask your supplier to check for a different SKU/part number
I have been very happy with the Ventus V12 Evo2's I run on my 996. Will buy them again (rears are nearly down to the wear bars; fronts should last as long as another pair of rears).
Unexpected surprise: They are wearing much more evenly than the BFG GForce Sports...
Not a problem. I ended up calling tire rack and getting a set of ps2. My rep Ian was able to source them from Michelin, which is weird because when I called Michelin direct, they said they weren't in production and no place had them... Oh well.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
