Its been a year since I took delivery.. Approx 9000 miles and it looks like I will need new tires soon. My Cayman is my "every-day-car" and I do not race. Any suggestions as to replacements for my Misch. 18" factory tires... I would sacrafice a bit of performance for a bit more comfort.

The OEM N-Rated Continentals seem to be more of a "touring" tire in my experience... they came on my 2002 twin turbo. Not as sticky as the PS2s, and not as noisy on those grooved concrete highways becoming so prevalent. They're also less expensive. Do some reading in the "Tires" forum here about why you want to stay with tires that carry Porsche's N-spec. I would stay with the N-spec.

If you've only gotten 9k miles on these, you must be a pretty aggressive drive for a "non-racer."

Something is wrong if you only got 9000 miles. You probably need some diagnostic work done to understand that. And see the Article section for more on "N" spec tire before replacing your current tires.

pirelli for me

I'm liking my Bridgestone RE050A's. I started with the Michelins.

I don't think you are really going to get anything more comfortable without changing the wheel size. I like the Pilot Sport PS2 as the best handling wet and dry for the car. You can also look at the Yokohama Advan Sport. Maybe a little better ride quality but the PS2 is still a better handling tire.
If I can help let me know.
