The tire is just on the legal limit now after 9,500 miles of hard driving. The car is a DMS stage2 997.1 Turbo running around 600bhp so feel the tires have coped well. Great feedback from the road in the wet and dry although I am no tire expert. Felt as good, if not better than the recommended ContiSportContacts that were on there when I purchased the car so good value for money as they worked out about £120 cheaper for the rear set when purchased Sept10.

Fitment comes from each tire'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.
