Question Tire for 997s (carrera s coupe 06)

Hi,
first of all,
I am not a tracker and not willing to go to track.
I'm just a normal car driver.
Somebody recommended me to use Hankook tire if so cause it is not a performance tire and it would last longer if I am not going to drive crazy.
What is the REAL TRUTH?
is the tire going to mass up my car?(even though I dont go to tracks>??)

As long as you maintain the manufacturer speed rating you're fine.

Porsche will also say to use an N rated tire.

They may last more or less... depends on how you drive. The advantage with the kooks is they are half the price of PS2s.
