tires needed
 
I have aftermarket 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 11.5 wheels on my 2003 996TT need new tires.. any suggestions of a good performing tire.. and what size ? Does the height ratio come into play on the 996TT being AWD?

Never had the Yoko's on my 911. I do a lot of track running and really like the Mich's

Do some research and you'll find each tire offers different options of ride comfort, performance, tread wear, etc. You'll find that whatever you put on the back of a 911 you'll have fast tread wear.

That's true. I see all kind of tires when I'm on the track. Go online and they great comparisons and reviews. Your only limit is your wallet.:D

You're right "Me 5 too" BB:D
However I dont think I've seen a Yoko Advan tyre for a Space Saver Wheel

Has anyone used Bridgstones? A buddy of mine who runs an M3 at the track just bought some. We'll see how they hold up.

I run Bridgestones on my Smart Roadster Coupe'. They last well. Hold the road in the wet and are relatively cheap. As the car is very light and the roadholding impressive the tires are very supportive.

Yeah, I've used them before on my SUV, but have never seen how they hold up as a performance tire.
