Porsche Crest 944S Tire Options

Any recommendations for tires on a 944S?

At the moment, I have 225/60/15 Michelin Pilot Sports all around. I'd like to track my car and I have heard the same tires all around will give the best handling.

I'd like to upgrade to the 17" wheels as well for a brake upgrade in the future.

Thoughts?

are u going to be daily driving on the pilots and swapping out for track?

i got yoko advan ad08's and they're extremely grippy. bridgestone re-11's are also hot this year.

if yer a good enuff driver, get some Rcomps like RA1's or R888's

I'm asking for more advice size wise. And yea, I'll keep those for DD and hopefully have a track set.
