oh sorry i didnt see this threat get brought back. Im glad you are all in agreement so far with my statements = ).

 

Hi - for those running these on 19s, how are they working out? also, what width do you have in the back? i'm looking on going to 19s (19x10.5 rear) on my 2000 NB cab. i'm assuming 295 is too wide. is 285 ok, or should i stick with 275?
thanks, alan

 

275, 285 and 295 will all fit on a 10.5. It just personal preference really. If it was me I would go either 285 or 295, What size tire you running in the front?

 

hi - it would be 235 (on 8.5" wheel) in the front - thanks

 

I would go 235 285 then as it would be less understeer. 235 295 will produce a tad more understeer.

You could also go 245 295

 

thanks for the quick feedback - 235/285 sound like the way i will go!

 

+1 on the Hankooks. Admittedly, I was very skeptical from reading the Car and Driver thread. But I couldn't deny the lower price. So what did I do? I bought them for my wife's Audi first! So WITHOUT me saying anything (my wife tracks her car also), my wife said that it was probably the best tire she has had on her car! It was definitely better than her Kumho ECSTA tires. So I purchased mine for the 911. It is quieter than the PS2's and seems like they are stickier. I'm still knocking on wood to try to find where "the catch" is. These tires are hands down better for 50% the cost of the PS2's. No contest.

 

I'm running 235/275 on 19s. My opinion reflects on what had been mentioned. Quiet, sticky, excellent wet performance and, for the low aspect ratios on 19s, they ride pretty well.

I was also skeptical when I read the C/D review, but when I saw a couple of German publications giving a Korean manufacturer their top honors, that says something.

Ditto on the Tire Rack.... great price and received in less than 24 hours too! Still scrubbing them in so no thoughts yet.... I did the alignment as well and the drifting to the right issue is gone... I honestly don't know whether it was the old Conti's or the alignment.... I have only had the car for a month and it appeared that the alignment had been on the aggressive side.... Price was just under $700 delivered.

 

I replaced my Continental's with the same V12 and so far so good. Can't beat the price and performance seems pretty good. Hoping these tires last a bit longer than the Continental's which survived about 18K miles.
