Tires for an 05 Carrera

Hi, I was just wondering what size tires will fit the rear of my 05 Carrera, with no modifications to the wheel wells or fenders. I've seen some with 295s. Is it possible to fit 315s back there? Thanks

Stock 19" you'll have the 295/30/19, many of our customers have opted for the 305/30/19 which are stock on the C4S and Turbo models... Yes, per Lenelsa, the Michelin Super Sports are some great new tires....

315/25/19 is reserved more for the 996 where it is not as tall...

About the Michelin Super sports, I have the following comments-my rears have always howled (since new) very loud between 113 and 118 km with no change when I rotate them (previous Pirellis wore prematurely despite all highway driving but never howled). Now that they are almost warn, they are scary squirmy in the rain. Not happy.

Get the 305's but get the Hankook EVO's. Decent performance, half the price

Well, I have to eat my words. My tire guy convinced me to try the 305 Mitchelins as there is a 30 day no questions warranty. Happy I did. No howling with these rear tires which still fit with my spacers.
