Hey Gus. I feel U, just love the radical tread pattern.

I'm getting em from S.Korea

17's would cost U approximately $1500, if U can get your hands on,,,

I trying a set of these Bridgestone ADRENALIN R001

Hi Juniinc,

Would love to try these.... From what I heard they are 'Extreme Performance Summer Tires'

How did you get a hold of them? I tried the website you suggested and cant even read it :D !

I am assembling a track set on 17's and am wondering how much the Adrenalins would cost on 225/17/45 on the fronts and 255/17/40 on the rears.

All the best,

Gus

I have mounted them three monts ago and I am happy, these typres has good performances (dry and rain) and competitive price.

furthermore, I find that they aren't noisy, and this is an unanimous opinion on Europeans Porsches' Forums. I mounted the same on my 964 and they had a good longlife (I sold the car after further 15.000 km, tyres in still very good conditions).

Well purchased the Bridgestones Potenza 960A's Pole Position had them mounted on the rear last weekend. Have not had the car out enough to provide feed back yet. Will do as time goes on. They replaced the Conti contact 2 ( 265/35-18).

The tires were $212per tire plus tax( since have gone up), had them mounted and road forced balanced for an additonal $40.

Has anyone tried Pirelli PZero Rosso? Cost a bit more than bridgestone's or michelin's but the treadwear looks descend.

Never had P zero's but then again I never got good wear from any Pirelli I bought. Since stayed away from them. I hate to say this, but my feelings on Michelin is they are over priced for any small gains if any you get.

i went with the goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3's. i've had them on for about 500 miles and am very satisfied. it rains quite a lot here in new orleans and i have found these to have excellent traction in wet conditions. they are also waaaaayyy quieter than the oem run-flats that were on the car when i bought it.

Since when use Porsche run-flat tyres? Anyway, V profile tyres are too noisy IMHO.
