Had these after they where introduced from the ultrac, new at the time. Done around 6 track days on them and in the wet were superb, leaving a lot of other cars scrabbling. Dry grip is also superb, but on a very hot Donnington session, started going off. would and am buying again, for road use you can`t go wrong. Still on the same fronts though rears replaced

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Porsche 968 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Have used the ULTRAC`s before on the 968 and my tyre dealer mentioned the new sessanta`s.
Have done 6 track days on them and can`t rate them highly enough, superb grip, turn in. A confident tyre. Do start to go off when pushed on a hot day/track, but would definately get them again. Wet weather on track, left most of the participants behind on the more focussed tyres; R888, etc. Wear rate comendable. Recommended
