I will be picking up my 991 Carrera this week. First thing I want to do is pick up some tires for Autocross. I noticed theres not alot of tire selection on tire rack for the 20" rims. Don't want to buy 19" wheels for the car. Would rather buy a better tire for the standard Carrera S 20" wheel. Are the Pirellis that come with the car any good? Tread wear is 220. Any suggestions? Thanks

 

I've found the Pirelli PZero to be surprisingly good tires. They're quick tires and pretty sticky. I've ordered a set of Pirelli Trofeo R, and hopefully they'll be significantly better.

 

I believe in order to stay in the street tire class I would have to be in the
140+ tread wear range. The Trofeo R has a tread wear of 60 when I looked it up. Must feel pretty darn sticky though. Thanks for the suggestion. I wish Hankook made the RS-3 in the right size.

 

The stock pirrelis are much better then I expected based on reviews I had read. I've done about 4 autoxs now with them and they really feel pretty good. They heat up very fast, so that is a plus for autox. Even on a day in the 70s I had to water down the tires after 2 runs because they were starting to overheat. I'd say stick with the stock tires initially.
