My offer on the '09 Cayman was accepted. It's in Fl and I'm in NJ.
I've decided to fly there and drive the car back to NJ. Turns out it's got stock tire set up on 19" wheels not the 18's I thought. 235x35x19/265x35x19. These are worn summer tires. I'll be ordering tires from TR have them delivered to Fl and mounted before I get there. I've been searching around some other forums and as a result decided to skip the 4 square set up for the street tires. It's too much of a hassle trying to figure out what tires will fit where and on what rims. I've got a short window before heading to Fl to pick up the car, so simplest thing to do is go with what the Porsche engineers decided works best on the car.
Still have a few months before track season starts in the NE and that will give me time to investigate track tire set ups.
Thanks for chiming in.
Next time you hear from me I'll be the proud owner of a Cayman S and a Boxster.
