Awesome, thanks for all the feedback.

I will try to find a performance oriented shop that knows Porsches to check my alignment. We have a Tire Kingdom here (that has done my other cars) but they say they can't do the Porsche.

I mostly leave it in the garage and only drive in good weather; I probably should have mentioned that in my first post, so some of these "Extreme Performance" tires might be good for me.

With regard to oiling problems due to high-G cornering - I am still a long way from that, right? I understood that those mostly occur with "R" spec tires and long high speed turns. With my regular street high performance tires I am not generating sustained G's like that, correct?

Thanks!

Steve
