Die besten Reifen für den Porsche 996 GT3

Meine Kommentare beziehen sich nur auf Streckentage, da ich das Auto selten auf der Straße benutze, außer auf und von der Strecke zu fahren.

Mein Hintergrund ist der Porsche-Rennsport und deshalb fahre ich meinen Standard-Straßen-Porsche an Streckentagen entsprechend.

Fantastischer trockener Griff und Handhabung. Reifen sind am Limit progressiv und verlieren nicht plötzlich den Halt. Selbst bei Nässe sind sie am Limit progressiv.

Die Hinterreifen sind je nach Strecke nach ca. 3-4 Streckentagen am Ende ihrer Lebensdauer. Ich habe die Seitenwände zerfallen lassen und den Profilhub, normalerweise am 4. Streckentag, bei drei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten. Jetzt werfe ich sie nach 3 Streckentagen weg: nach einem Ausbruch mit 250 km / h. Warum benutze ich sie weiterhin? Weil sie im Vergleich zu anderen auf dem Markt zugelassenen Straßenreifen den besten Trockengriff und das beste Handling im Trockenen haben.

Nb: Die Vorderreifen halten etwa 50% länger als die Hinterreifen und geben keine Probleme.

have heard great things and can confirm these are superb....they stick to the road like baby poo to a blanket. and for the money they are unmatched.

went from a road based Pirelli tyre (rosso) to these and the step up in grip is very noticeable in the dry. I would say another 40% and they last longer when hot on track too.

sidewalls are much stiffer but that is good for fast road and track work. little harder on the road as you have less flex to absorb the bumps. but well worth the slight change there.

they even work in the wet and far better than the toyo 888 or pilot cup sport (which are lethal in the wet). the directional tread pattern helps out with water dispersal.

keep a look out on Tyreleader, Camskill or Mytyres for the best deals.

I got into a set for a 911 GT3 for just over £450 delivered. they only got to 285 wide on the rear but being a track tyre they are squarer so about the same as a road going 295 which is ideal.

running a 235 on the front and the turn in is so much sharper. has got rid of that turn in understeer you get on a 911, you can lean on the tyre and get on the power that bit earlier so its much smoother all round.

ignore the tyre brand snobbery and buy these. I can get 2 sets for the price of 1 Michelin or Pirelli. I will always chew threw 2 sets of rears for every 1 set of fronts so this is even better.

they seem to last fairly well too even after a full on track day at Bedford and have shown not much sign of wear! cracking tyre all round.

After replacing some R888s with these I can't say I've noticed much of a difference. Both are extremely good tyres, the V70a works great in dry and damp conditions but has some problems with standing water as they all do. I'm using the hard compound on the GT3 and they don't seem to go off as quickly as the R888s did.
