i was also wondering if i needed to replace them, can i go with a more narrow tire? tire rack doesnt even stock this size and i dont think i need a tire this wide. i'm not sure how wide the wheels are, can anyone tell me how i can find that out?

Well so much for my genious! I see what you mean about sizes! First off, 305's as far as I know are the biggest tires you can put on the rear wheels of a narrow body car if they are 11's or 11.5's. Second your tires look they are in good shape, not worn down to the bars. You can measure depth of tread to be certain. As far as wheel width, it would seem to me that there would be some markings to indicate width, if not, remove tire and measure. While most of what I know has to do with Porsche or BBS wheels and applications for 997s, I think much of the same info works on the 996.

Unless they are on the 'bar' you are fine...... Incidentally, the one tyre is more worn than the other, you can tell by the tread pattern being visiable in the centre on the one and not on the other. So keep an eye on the most worn one....... Mines the same as i had a puncture once and had to have the tyre replaced, but the difference was minimal........
