I got my conti's from Just Tires....first porsche for me and I wanted to make sure I had the same size tire that my car came with on the rim....other places were close on the tire size but I wanted a perfect match to be safe....

I do remount them every season for now but I am hoping to have my 19's for next summer....

I knew I was going to get 19's the entire time or I would have bought the 17 inch wheel set from tire rack, they have the aftermarket porsche twists and tires I think for about 1400? I thought that was a pretty good option.....

Thanks all. just got off with tire rack. only have contis in stock now but expect others in middle of Sept. base wheel and conti's 1643 shipped. i guess thats about right?
Not sure if 205/50 and 255/40 will fit 06 calls for 205/55 and 235/50 without problems. Anyone know?

that's the problem I was running into....the only tire I could find for the exact size was the conti and they were "special order" which means charge me more....the other guys were talking about strectchnig the tire over the rim and all sorts of scenarios....I passed on it

205 50 and 205 55 is the same width so there isn't any 'streching' involved there so I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about 'stretching'
