Is it just the issue of the IMS? Don't think so. The followup letters to Autoweek mostly addressed unrelated problems and Porsche's response (or lack thereof).

I recently purchased a set of the latest Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 all-season tire for my 2004 S (245/40ZR18 and 265/35ZR18). Few miles but nice tire, excellent steering response, should be decent...

I've read your narrative of the diagnostic workup and ultimate surgical intervention on your Tip-equipped M96. Thanks for sharing it.

That is a big difference (from 2850-3000) in terms of city and suburban driving! It's why I had hoped to verify the specs.
