Default 718 GTS Cars and Michelin Tires

For those of you that have taken delivery of your New GTS cars Caymans and Boxsters can you please let me know what tires came on your car and when you took delivery of your car. I have been tracking as many dealer pictures as possible and most GTS cars are coming with Michelin Sport 4S Tires on them lately. The early models had Pirelli P-Zero tires on them. Just curious if Porsche has gone to Michelin Tires exclusively on the GTS cars. Thanks

Congratulations and thanks for the reply. A racing yellow GTS is a very sharp looking car.

I intend to take and post some -- as soon as the weather gets warm enough here to take it out. It was 19 degrees this morning! We're not predicted to hit 50 until the middle of next week. I took my 911 TTS out of storage March 28 and only got 2 days of driving in before we went back into winter. Sheesh!

Every Sunday morning between 8-10am. calibre coffee, 100 w higgins rd ste. h-60, south barrington, il 60010

It doesn't get going in earnest till the weather warms up a bit. The die hards go as long as it isn't raining or snowing. Once the season gets going the beginning of May, the lot fills up with a lot of expensive hardware.

The reason I asked if you go, is because there is a guy that shows up from time to time with a Holdenized SS.

Michelin Tires. I switched to a set of Pirelli Trofeo R for Track Days.

I saw the first GTS without Michelin tires arrive the other day to a local dealership. It came with Goodyear tires. However, it is fully loaded Cayman GTS with PDK in Sapphire Blue. Since Sapphire Blue has been dropped for 2019 this might be one of the last few GTS cars in that color.
