they are called semi-R-tires. 997TT is using semi-r-tires as well.

Semi means they are better on wetconditions than 100% R-tires is. R-tires are for the track and very bad in wet conditions, semi-R-tires can be used on a track and on the street, not as much grip as R-tires but better than "normal" tires.
