Here were the 275 PSS that I burned up in under 6k miles, so I replaced them with the second picture, which are Conti DWS also in a 275. The DWS is definitely a bit softer, but at a treadlife of 540, and considering I don't track the car, I was after some longevity and these are proving to be quite durable and more than sufficient for some harder street driving. Still have not needed fronts yet, so still running the original Pirelli P-zero, which suck IMHO.

Ive used falken in the past. The fk 452 were good, no issues. The azenis ziex suck ***** though.
Falken generally r a cheaper option. Not my first choice but the 452 r ok if u have no other choices

They definitely do! Almost fill in the gap perfectly, been asked many times if I'm lowered, which I am not. I don't believe I have the PP suspension, but my car is a bit of a Frankenstein apparently. It shows the PP on the window sticker, but build sheet specifies only 176 MPH and LSD. I don't have 2 piece rotors or alcanatara wheel/headliner, and don't see any specifics listing suspension.

Wonder if there is a way to tell?

My car came with nearly new DWS in stock 235/255 size. I'm pretty happy with them. I don't drive it hard on the street. My boss had them on his 911 and he loved them. Great in all kinds of weather and lasted a long time.

I have never seen a comparison that shows that the P30 suspension was any lower than the standard suspension.
