I like these tires a LOT. I have them on my 993 Turbo (235/40/18 and 295/30/18). Great turn in, great feedback, great grip. Slightly less than PS2's. But I do not expect these to be better than the Michelins in the rain. Then again, I don't drive the toys on rainy days.

Michelin Pilot Sport AS+ 255 40 ZR 17 on the rear and 215 50 ZR 17 front. Good wear and decent grip in cooler temperatures (although I do not typically drive below 50 F) as they have different compounds to permit decent cold weather performance. Unfortunately, only so-so in the wet and in hot conditions.
