It looks like I'll be pulling the OE Michelin Pilot Sport2's and putting on 245/40-18 and 275/35-18 Nitto NT 01's or possibly the same size combo with Toyo RA1's. My other option would be to shave the PS2's down to 5/32's if there isn't too much grit in the tread from delivery miles. However, once you go with R compounds it's hard to go back to street tires for competition use.

I'm interested to see the difference in handling dynamics with the 18's but personally I think 987's look better with 19" wheels. I like my Carrera S wheels but I think all the Porsche OE options are sweet.

So you are doing the exact same thing as I? 19" Carrera S wheels for the street, and 18" Cayman S wheels with R-compounds for competition? Certainly you have good taste, then...

What did you pay for your takeoffs? These are light wheels, aren't they? I was surprised...
