Tires-Help

I have new rims coming for my 997tt but cannot find tires anywhere in Canada or the US.

Anyone know where I can find 325-25-20 for the rear and 245-30-20 for the front?

I am in serious need of help.

Thank you

Call Damon for these.

I have the Michelin Pilot Sports on my car. They were back ordered but I received them very quickly.

Just got a set of Continental DW in those sizes thanks to Damon. Easy transaction. Awesome tires. It's like a whole new car.

Tire Rack was the first place I tried.

Anyone know of another source where I can get them right away?

I hate to say it but until they start coming back in stock, you may have to order the fronts and backs from 2 different companies. We currently have the Pilot PS2s in the rear size, but are down to our last few, and we are out of the fronts entirely. Wish I could do more. You could try different tire sizes they do make performance tires in 235/35/20, but I know alot of people dont like to change sizes because their cars are set up to run the original size perfectly.

If TAG still has them, buy them! Now! The DW in that size combo has been discontinued. We sold all our remaining inventory last week and will not be getting any more. The PS2 is the only match I have left, but as of now they are on indefinite back order with no ETA until Michelin puts them back into production.
