I had to laugh at some of the review comments at TireRack, such as the guy who chose a set of Riken Raptors because it had a "cool tread pattern." And to think women are accused of being concerned with frivolous stuff.
(BTW, this is my second iteration of this reply. When I posted the first one yesterday I got a message advising that it would need a moderator's approval, even though it was almost identical to this one. Something out of whack with the forum config, possibly.)

I usually buy from Discount Tire which tends to have decent prices on Michelins, which I have been getting. My local indie Porsche shop will take delivery of Tire Rack tires and mount them and of course they will also do an alignment. It is worth finding an independent shop that works on Porsches. I have had my 2001 S now for 11 years with no big issues, but the shop I use charges less than my Toyota dealer. Check your local PCA chapter for a good shop. You may need one some day so better to have an idea on where to go if something were ever to go wrong. Just my 2 cents. And those are nice tires from what I have heard, enjoy!
