Tire Recommendations

Looking for a good set of new tires for my 03 Carrera. Obviously want a tire that does well in wet and dry weather and with a good tread life but most importantly, would like the quietest tire going. Money is no object. Appreciate any recommendations.

Well, Mr. Diver, you have 03 Carrera and you want a quiet tire? Are you sure?
Anyway, PS2 indeed works well on these cars.
Oterwise Tirerack may have alternative applications and reviews for you.
As tire pressur gauge, get one with 0-60 PSI range and stay away from digital ones.
Cheers

I ran PS2s the first 2 sets of tires on my GT3. I went over to the Sumitomo HTR Z III for this last set, and have been quite pleased with them. They've worked well in the dry, but must admit very limited experience in the wet.

PS2 if money is no object as per your statement... Not everyone can fork over the funds but if you can they make a great road tire.

Agree on the Sumitomos. I like mine, but I may go for the Michelin next if they're quieter.
