That's a good deal! You are going to need a good source as with that new engine the rear tires aren't going to last long.

I just called the shop and placed the order they will have them by Thursday the price was too good to pass up. I will limp the car home from Jake's on the Conti's she's currently wearing but I will drive it easy. Between breaking in the engine, old tires and possibly cool/cold temps the drive home will be a nervous dance.
I'll throw the new wheels/tires on the car and wait for warmer weather........then look out !

Don't drive in a spirited fashion and you'll be OK. Remind yourself at upcoming turns NOT to go fast. Be mindful on bridges and overpasses too. I've driven my cars on summer tires to work in sub-30 deg weather and have lived to talk about it. Just drive with caution, which can be hard to do with a Porsche.

Hey guys this morning I went and had the new tires installed on my new wheels. I was a little leery as the price seemed too good to be true and I never have used this dealer. But everything went exactly as quoted my total price out the door with tax, mount , balance and valve stems was $638.00 hard to beat that deal. Here are a few pics to show it was real .
