Porsche Carrera Gt Tires

Porsche’s Carrera GT was an exclusive, limited-run mid-engine exotic from Porsche. The Carrera GT was a showcase for cutting-edge technology, including a 603 hp V10 engine that propelled it to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Carrera GT was going to be designed with a supercharged flat-6 boxer engine that’s much more in line with traditional Porsche tech; the V10 was designed way back in 1992 but was shelved and never went to production. This supercar draws heavily on Porsche’s experience and expertise in the motorsports world and received considerable praise from the automotive press. If you own a Porsche Carrera GT, you have a rare bird indeed: the entire 2-year production run of this car was only 1500 units.

Here at FORTLUFT our team has gone through the catalog and figured out some of the best Porsche Carrera GT tires, including summer-UHP, UHP all-season, and UHP tires, and then we ranked them in Best-Great-Good order. We then used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for the categories of traction, handling, and longevity for each tire. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:
1. Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate – Best UHP tire
We’re kicking this list off with a UHP tire, and here’s one that’s consistently made a good impression on us: the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate, a tire that drivers everywhere have come to know and love for its superb performance. Goodyear designed the Eagle Exhilarate around a silica-rich tread formulation that enhances wet-weather grip and wear properties and a tread pattern that incorporates five ribs and wide circumferential grooves. We gave the Eagle Exhilarate a superlative SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction, thanks to its dense pattern of sipes and lateral-angled grooves, Cornering, braking distances, and response to driver input are also top-notch, thanks to a flat, square footprint that’s optimized to keep the most rubber in contact with the road. Reinforced shoulders and a stiff tread face help resist the squirm and deformation t
