The pirelli's wear fast and make alot of noise, particularly when partially worn. Try the Michelin PS2, longer lasting, quieter, etc. etc.

I would vote for the Pilot PS2 as well. I had a set on my Boxster and they where great and the rears lasted for 30K+ miles. When the Pilots on my 996 finally go I am headed right back for the SP2's.

I use PS2's as well. My rears lasted 17k and my fronts are still good at 24k. They will probably last until 30k. Great tire (handling, wear, looks, etc.)

I switched to the Kumho Ecsta's. I was running SO3's, but decided to look for a cheaper alternative after they were discontinued. I have no complaints after almost 22k miles and 2 DE's, rears will still last me through the fall and spring months. Great handling for road and track. They are somewhat more noisy, but at almost half the cost.... $109 and $207 for the fronts and rears (respectively) at tire rack.

Thank you all for your replies...Do the kuhmo tires have N rating?Or it is not essential and it is only for pricing purposes?Michael I ve tried also contisport contact2 tires on the M roadster and were fine...However the Pirellis seemed better,more reliable for high speed cruising...
