I just put a set of Hankook EVO Ventus V12's on our 97. They are not N rated. I am very pleased with the way they perform. We have Pirelli P-zero's on my wife's 09. They are great. If you can afford the Pirelli's, do it. If you need to get some mileage out of the tires, then a quick search will offer up several lower priced options. IMHO, the N rating is another Porsche tax that you don't need to pay unless you want to.

Definitely check the age of the rears. If they are over half worn or really old, try to swing all four. Even if you need to choose a lesser tire.

I think it was $640 for the Hankook set in January.
