My personal opinion is that putting Kumhos or whatnot on a Porsche is like buying top-of-the-line amplifiers, signal processors, DVD player, and then listening to it all through computer speakers. It just doesn't make sense.
I do agree with getting good tires for your car, but I'm not sure why your bad mouthing the Kumhos. I currently have Perreli's on my boxster but the Kumhos are better in my opinion. They offer the same features and tread wear as some of those other well known brands. They aren't cheap either, and they are not unheard of. In the sport compact scene and in drifting especially they are the premier tire preferred by rear wheel drive car enthusiasts. I've had them on several of my older cars with no problems.
