Garage
The UHP all-seasons that Kumho makes that fit the 17s on a 986 are a great deal, and I imagine their summers are even better. I wouldn't compare them to a passenger car tire. The ones I'm referring to have a great, quiet, smooth ride, and put the OEM Pirelli summers to shame in everything but grip being an all-season. The car that they're on is slowly becoming a fair weather garage queen (a shame IMO), but those tires rang in at $300 or so less, installed, than my Michelin Pilot Sports that get driven much more often, and I consider the Kumhos a very close alternative in terms of bang for buck.
