Re: What tyre best 2.2t
If cost is no barrier then Michelin XWX, but I use the equally good Verdenstein Sprint Classic which also has a nice classic type thread pattern on my 2.4 S. 185/70/15. They were great on the 2600 kms we drove last year on the Wild Atlantic Way Drive in dry and wet.

My first choice would always be Avon CR6ZZ's ...

Vredestein Sprint Classics are excellent and very good value. I love them on my 911E.
The force is strong in this one ......

Re: What tyre best 2.2t
Hello
I was going to choose Vredestein too but they are only available in H velocity code and not V as required by Porsche but more than that it's written on my car-paper (Italy)...
I think I will buy Pirelli CN36 or P6000...
In the meanwhile seriously tempted by Blockley Tyres from UK...

I have just fitted a set of 185/70 V-rated Blockley tyres and am very impressed so far. Discreet sidewall markings, very period-looking tread pattern.Max911 wrote:Hello

Oh yes KS, I found Blockley thanks to your pics somewhere...
Great impression from them according to their fast mail answer... Unfortunately change £ vs € and delivery to Italy have bad impact...
Are you satisfied both on dry and wet surfaces?

Re: What tyre best 2.2t
I've only had chance to 'push them' in the dry so far, and drive a relatively short way in the wet. In the dry they seem very progressive. In the wet, good so far, but not driven them 'in anger' under such conditions yet.
