+1 for a great look and for the clear side markers. The orange ones stick out like a sore thumb to me. I did mine within one hour of getting the car.

 

No interior pics?

 

Are those rears really 295/35 or did you mean 295/30?

 

295/35ZR20s, they are!

 

Nice looking car. Congratulations.

 

Enjoy!

 

And we're off!!!!! But first, the 295s; haven't yet checked the speedo accuracy.


The carpet really is dark brown.


Dig the illuminated rocker panel; they're the only places other than the instruments that display the model name.



I LOVE this thing!!!!!!!!!

 

Those very wide tyres are going to throw rock up that will beat the heck out of your rear bumper. I'd strongly suggest doubling up on PPF on that area.

Also, don't sell your original set. As already mentioned, if you plan on reselling at any point then there's a pretty good chance a potential buyer will want the original wheel and tyre set.

 

Jeff,

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
I Likeeeeeeeeeeee
Those rear Michelin AS/4 tires look Bad-*** in the picture.

Christmas is going to be Super for you this year pal.

TYVM Terry; I sure do enjoy driving this.. I was slightly annoyed with the shift-quickly-and-at-lo-engine-speeds normal shift map, but I now use S1, and if it upshifts a little late for my light-throttle driving, I use the paddle.

The new Cayenne Turbo...

...has arrived at Porsche Chandler; I'll be retrieving (and rewheeling and -tiring) it Wednesday morning/afternoon.

 

Damn, 2 cars in 2 weeks is mad.

Is that Mahogany metallic? I am toying with getting a cayenne in that color to replace the Macan.

But I can’t bring myself to pay full list for one. I am going to wait a bit.

 

Yup; my creditunion loves me.

Yes; in some light it looks GORGEOUS...in bright light it GLOWS golden brown.

 

Jeff,

Well buddy one thing for sure.

Your one guy that can and does have whatever he chooses.

Congratulation on Both the New Porsche machines.

Terry

 

You can see from this readout below your speedo error at various speeds. You've put a tall, high profile 295 on the rear that is almost 3% taller than the 265/35 tire it replaced. The ABS system has a 3% tolerance built into it for different sized tires, and this size approaches that. As you get near this threshold, your ABS and PSM systems can begin to throw errors.


If you'd used a 295/30 tire instead, (see below comparison) you would have had virtually no speedo error, and your ABS system would be a lot happier.

 

I've read about this purported "3% tolerance", but I've never seen documented proof that there's an issue here. I certainly don't believe it would be like a light-switch, where below 3% you are fine but above 3% you are screwed.

So I'm not entirely buying the statement that he's at risk of his ABS and PSM systems throwing errors. He's certainly at risk of the tires rubbing at full compression or full extension - that would be my only real concern here.

From a purely selfish standpoint, I'm glad that @Jeffrey Behr did what he did. My goal for my CGTS4.0 has always been to step up from 265/35-20 to 275/35-20 in the rear (and from 235/35-20 to 245/35/20 in the front). But I might be able to take things one step further in the rear with 285/35-20s, which is a size that has many more tire choices than the 275/35-20 does. Of course, I really don't have any complaints with the CGTS stock sizes, as I've got 5 track days, one SCCA time trial, and a handful of AutoXs on the factory-stock PS4S tires. The rear tires will be down to the wear bars sometime next year. And I do rotate the tires side-to-side as all the tracks I drive are run clockwise.
