I run PS5 at 265mm on the rear of my C4 and I highly recommend them as a super tyre.
Leading evidence: 'Run ps5 at 265mm' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

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.

Starting a separate thread for this as it will be easier. When I picked the car up from storage I noticed the rears are old (year 2017) and need replacing. Ok, fine. Its a 2002 car with 18 inch wheels, so sizing is - 225/40 front and 285/30 rear, unless I am mistaken.
Can I find
decent
tyres for the rear in 285/30? No. Best I have found is Michelin PS2s - way too old IMO. I wanted PS5, Goodyear ASM (had good experience with these in the past) or Conti's.
Looking at both Camskill, Tyre Shopper and Black Circles the best I can get is either PS4S or Falken in 295/30 or pretty much whatever I want in 275/35 (inc PS5).
What sizing do most people go for on a .2 with 18 inch wheels, and where do you get them? I am not against Falken, and I can get them matching front and rear in 295, but unless I go to 275 rear, I do not seem to be able to find recent/modern tyres in good sizes to match front and back (I am not putting PS5 on the front and PS2 on the rear).
This was a pain in TVR land on the standard 15 front, 16 rear wheels of a Chimaera, which is why lots go to 17's now.
I'd go 295. Mine has run on them since new. You can get PS4S or Conti sport contact 2:

I don’t think the Ps5 is a sporty tyre… the PS5
S
isn’t available ( I think* )
Conti 7 gets phenomenal reviews, don’t know anyone that runs them on the 996.2 - be brave! Let us know!
i went MPS4S 225 and 285 but they resonate terribly and a few others have found the same… but even more love them so might just be unlucky.
PS5's are a brilliant tyre, and more up to date than the aged PS4S nowadays. They do have a softer side wall but that makes for a better tyre on the road IMO. I swapped out Cup 2's for PS5 on my 996 and it's a much better car for it in many ways.
I was looking at the Conti 7 since that is available in 235 and 295.
I do have H&R lowering springs, will a 235 rub at all? Or do people use spacers? Standard Carrera 5 spoke alloys.
I cannot find PS5 in 295, only 275 for the rear. Is that what everyone who does have PS5's run?
Yes, or 265. A 295 looks odd on a 10" wheel imo and much more tyre than is ever required.

Ring Camskill they will let you know what they have coming in. I think some sizes are more common in other markets.
I waited a couple of weeks for PS4S in 225/40 and 285/30.
Only relevant if you want to stick to original size. Other options as above.
