I am thinking of adding a set of techart 19" rims onto my C4S cab. Just wondering what sort of tyres I am looking. Porsche dealer in Hong Kong are not that helpful...

Thanks for the help in advance!

Anyway here's a few pics of my car...

nice!!! drive that car in HK u must have very good income

here is the info u're looking for:

Techart Formula
Front 19x8.5 ET 40
Tire: 235/35-19

Rear 19x11 ET25
Tire: 315/25-19

the 2 most common brand for this size set up is Continental ContiSportContact2 and MichelinPilot Sport 2.

 

Thanks for the info!

I used to drive a boxster S. Whenever I took the boxster in for service I see this beauty sitting (I later found out that this was the show car for the dealers in HK). One day I asked for her hand and the price the quoted me was not too bad.

So I said goodbye to my boxster and took her home...

 

20C4S beat me to it, but Michelin PS2 rib is the tire to kill for.... What a beauty! Enjoy in good health.

 

Actually I was thinking of Bridgestones (S-02 or S-03). I heard that the Michelins are good too. But I will need to check the availability of that in HK. I am sure somewhere someone will have that in stock... for the right price.

 

vinnam,
u can run S-03 but the size is not perfect. plus u will have rubbing issue on the front since they only make 245 in stead of 235. rear will be 285/30-19. knowing that S-03 is very popular in Asia, might be a lot easy to get. also check out Conti V-max. a new good performer!

 

Thanks 20C4S... I just called my tyre shop. They dont normally stock the Michelins. But they will try to get me some quotes on them...

What about Yokohamas. I heard they will be doing a 19" performance tyre soon... again I am not sure whether they will have the right size.

 

Yoko has AVS Sport 315/25-19 for a while but the tire is too narrow for the rear wheel. even the S-03 285 is wider than that. u don't want the wheel stick out .25'' from the tire

 

Finally someone from my home town become a 6speed member! Nice ride and have fun with it!

 

If I remember right from my last trip to HK. The road conditions there are not the greatest. You sure you want to go w/ 19"s ???

last time i visited, i saw mini vans that were fixed up, i would think tires would be easy to find out there. anyhow your car is *****in, and when i'm out there i'll give you a holla.

 

Beautiful car!! I love the deviating seats!!

Are the S02's just as bad on 19"s as the 18"s with regard to road noise? Just awful!!

 

Very nice vehicle you have there!

 

Thanks guys.

It is a ***** to find 315/25/19 around here.

I manage to locate 1 set however the shipment wont be in til Oct.

Yes 19" in HK is indeed a gamble. That's why I am keeping my 18" just as spares.

 

vinnam,
how much can u get it there? it's fairly cheap here in the US. is it worth it to ship it there? if the shipping is reasonable i don't mind ship u a set.

check here for all the tire info u need. they are also the board sponsor as well.
