Which Tires?

I love them so far. I have about 700 miles on them and they grip far better than the Kumhos I had on the car. They are not as noisy, and the Kumhos were out of round or thicker in places and I had lots of vibration from them.

If anyone reading this thread needs new rubber and just can't afford the excellent tires recommended in this thread, try a set of Sumitomo HRTZ II's. I would love to put far more expensive tires on the car, but hey, the wallet is skinny these days!

Had a set of those on my 930. Pretty good road tires up until about 7500 miles then they start to roar like you've blown out BOTH rear wheel bearings. YMMV
