Porsche928TT

I wouldn't miss this get together for anything. It's the one and ONLY Porsche gathering that's a must attend. If you want to be "someone" in the 928 world (OK East Coast!) than don't miss it. Great people, great cars, great tech advice and the absolute best hosts on the planet. The chili should NOT be missed.

Now for my problem. If anyone from last year remembers, the inner tread wear on my Callaway's front tires was VERY serious. Reeves had managed to get me the tires years ago when they modified the suspension and we switched to 17" 3 piece wheels. Nowadays you simply cannot find my sizes (front or rear) in the P-Zero Assimmetricos that I have. I believe it would be dangerous to take such a long trip in the 928 unless I can find some replacements. Now that the alignment is back to spec, I believe a another set would work, but I can't find one!

Front 245/40 ZR 17 P-Zero Assimetrico
Rear 285/40 ZR 17 " "

Even if I do not take the 928, I WILL be there. Not as happy.....but still there!

See you all soon,

Rich

Rich, what width are your wheels? (Need to know to suggest alternate sizes...)

I will do my best to make it!
It is the BEST TIME!

My tire guy is checking the warehouses in our area..I'll keep you posted.

Thanks everyone.

I am not anywhere near the car at the moment, so I cannot measure the widths. Sorry

Maybe Tass will get lucky and find some tires! Wouldn't that be grand! Either way I'll be there.

Thanks again,

Rich

I'm hearing that the fronts are available but those 285 rears have been discontinued. Do you need all 4 tires or just the fronts?

Porsche928TT

Dave,
I need all four. The rears are ratty and old as well. Did he give you a price for the fronts. I have to start someplace!


Thanks,

Rich

I didn't ask the price of fronts only. Tire rack has a decent selection in the 285/40 /17 size. Even a Perrelli option but ouch....500. each!

I am looking forward to the event. Had a great time the couple of times I have made it up there.
Any T-shirts sponsored by OC?

Tass 928

Hi Bilal,

I'm glad to hear you are coming back for another event! Attendance is rising, your car will be the 32nd signed up

We skipped the t-shirt this time and went with some very nice ceramic mugs. I'll put a picture up as soon as they arrive.

See you on the 27th!

Bilal928S4

Ceramic mugs would be great.
Anything you need me to bring from NY/CT?

Mike Frye

Hey Tass, not sure if you have me on your list, but I'm going to try to be there.
Will PMs or e-mails with the directions or location be sent out again? I don't think I have mine from the last time I was up there.

Tass 928

PM on the way, Thanks Mike

Tass, make sure you count me a "2" as a friend of mine ( 993 C4 guy) was gratuitous enough to volunteer to drive out the 89 S4 and I'll have the 91 GT.
