Thanks,

Any other suggestions let me know. I know i downgraded to a cheaper tire but there are a lot of reviews on this forum that are positive about the Hankooks. Any body else having issues with the V-12's?
Ah yes, you have chosen to install undersized tires on your car. Porsche psi specs are for Porsche recommended tire sizes, you have smaller tires so you must increase air psi to maintain load carrying capacity. So basically you are starting off your driving with flat spotted tires.
