Have searched through all 11 pages of the 996 forum but couldn't find a post on the thorny issue of tyres. However, I know there have been many... [

Currently I'm running N-rated tyres front and back, but the fronts are quite old Bridgestones (still got a lot of wear in them though) and the rears are Continental Sport Contacts (again, reasonable amount of wear left). What I want to do is get all 4 corners onto the same tyre manufacturer with N-rateds sometime between now and the end of the summer (in about a week then!). Ideally I'm looking for Michelins or Pirellis. Does anyone have any preferences/recommendations?
Also, has anyone got any experience of the Michelin CrossClimate tyres? I know they're not N-rated (the horror!) but they could be a good fit given that I use my porker as a daily driver, so it does venture out in the wet stuff.
Apologies for the rambling message, any pointers gratefully received.
