Exclamation Not so fast amigo

Go to your dealer and get the pamphlet for the Porsche approved tires. Once you see which tires are approved for your car then you can rush to Tire Track. Suggestion is to have your dealer install them for you. I went through an experience with the tires that made me realize of my stupidity in order to save time. Porsche has the right equipment to balance your tires, the right lead weights etc. Their engineers pick these tires for optimal performance for the car.

I have to agree with Pilot. There a many things you can outsource or do yourself, but in my opinion, if it is very important to the car have the dealer do it.

Thanks for all of the thoughtful opinions. I like the idea of checking with the Porsche dealer before I make a purchase.
