Is it okay to run these sizes on our 996TT? Thanks.

I run Toyo R888s in those exact sizes on stock rims with no problems at all. The car is lowered as well.

I run a 245 front but the same in the rear. My rears were rubbing a bit so we rolled the fenders.

Just revolutions/mile that you need to be concerned with if you are still 4WD. Which I know you are. When the 18g coming?

I had PSM issues with half worn 225 and new 315s. Having 235s installed in the front to match the rears better.

Charsiu is infamous around these partsCharsiu is infamous around these parts
I run 235 and 315 combo to keep the size ratio correct.
I believe that is the best "upgrade" size to run for any TT that still have 4WD system.

235/40/18 is the correct match for your 315's. Not 225.
Search . . lots of topics on this.

Darn.....that's what I was afraid of. I guess I will be ordering new 235/40 18 Michelins for the front.


Pumptech:
As far as upgrading my turbos to the 18gs, I will be getting those when my daughter is on Spring Break. My 996tt is a daily driver and I don't feel like renting a car while my car is down for the turbo upgrade.
