As mentioned before, the RE-71R and the Rival 1.5 are the two I'm aware of. I ran RE-71Rs last year on my 997. Those tires are nutty sticky. I swear they took a set of R-comp tires and put a wear rating of 200 on them. They wear fast though. I would try the Rival 1.5s out for giggles but the sizing option isn't really great for the 986.

Of the available tire options, 18" rims have more tires available. So I'll likely stick with 18s. My plan is to retrofit and M030 coils and sway bars with Koni Sport shocks. The bump stops are shot so I'll replace them while I'm doing the suspension work.
