Default 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.
