High perf. tires, without tramlining.
 
Looking for a set of tires not too soft and noisy.

Had problems in the past with the car following longitude ruts. HATE IT !!!

Have Cup 1's on the car with 225-45-17-/-255-4o-17 rear.

Anyone have tires with which you are satisfied about and never think of them when your driving?

I have the Continental DW. 17" wheel, no tramming ride is perfect.

What of road noise-wear-and in the wet?

Thanks for replying btw.

Mikesik,
Are these original stock Cup 1's? If not, check the offsets. I thought that tramlining was normally not a tire issue, but rather a wheel issue.

Bridgestone re760's.. awesome

I'm think Kumho V700 or Hoosiers, hate that tramline with grooved pavement, but avoid patterns with straight lines.

Is that a fact?

No stepson, they're after market.

Thought that they'd be copies; at least of course in the offset department.

Is this from your experience? Thanks for the thought.

Put in some Delrin rack bushings, they'll make a big difference and greatly reduce trammlining.

I currently have Kumho Ecsta's on mine ...No issues to speak of...All I can say is that (for the last 3yrs) I've been very happy with them

I had a set of Dunlops with the straight grooves, terrible.

I really like my Hankook Evo V12 tires. They've never gotten squirrely under any kind of road conditions and Indiana can have some really sucky roads come spring time. On black asphalt they are silent but on lighter color aged highways and concrete bridges they can get rather loud. My 928 is one of those cars I can let go of the steering wheel without fear of it darting from grooves or ruts.

I'm running 235/35-19 up front and 265/30-19 rear. Not very expensive either at less than $250 each.

No personal experience, I run stock Porsche wheels with correct offsets. Just passing on others' experiences.

that's funny.

It is motre likely to be the wheels (offsets) than tires, though wider section tires may also have an effect as will badly worn tires if the alignment is off (e.g. unevenly worn on the inside or outside).

I'd check the wheel offsets compared to stock.

Wheel offsets on aftermarket are all over the place - and were very different for 928, 911 etc

928 front offset is 65 ET- IF you are using aftermarket wheels with 59ET or less you car will be more sensitive to Tramming .

Also your alignment (front and rear) can have adverse effects, and if your ride height is lower than stock, you could be introducing excessive rear camber (negative).

If you have the option try a set of factory wheels. If not, get your ride height and alignment checked.
