Which Tire Brand is This?
My GT3Touring is built and waiting for a boat. On the Porsche Sales & Vehicle Management System the tire information is 6UEK00CX . Is this enough info to determine if the tire is Micheline or Dunlap?

Next to Tyre Number I see yours says Michelin but all mine has is the number 6UEK00CX. Are you saying mine is Michelin too?

System might not be updated yet. Try asking your sales associate next week.

The Shipping/Invoicing tab for my car showed the same "Tyre Number" - 6UEK00CX
My car showed up today with Michelin Cup 2 tires

I should have updated my original post. My car came in with the Michelin Cup 2 tires. 6UEK00CX must be the code for Cup 2

Got Michelin on my 991.1 GT3 and drove it two days ago with temperature around 30 F. I was having a little hard time braking. Thought it was the brake/rotor/pad. Took it to the dealer and they said it is the tires. They are like hockey puck under 40F.

No DOT track tires really work very well under 55F or so...

Ask your dealer to send you the Shipping/Invoicing tab from the Porsche Sales and Vehicle Management System

On page 11 of the owner's manual, Porsche states that one should not drive below 19F. Now, the question is, what happens between 19 and 55 degrees?

Just less grip. I believe the 19deg threshold is significantly greater risk of cracks / failure.
