Run flats on a Ferrari? Either run flats have significantly improved or that's like putting 87 gas in a 500hp car.

My recent cars came with regular Tires. Pirelli on the California and MPSS on the 458 Spider.

Have you ever put air in your tires?

Once on my 360 Spider. Had a flat and Ferrari provided a flat tire kit to inflate the tire.

Never on a Porsche. I leave that to the service center.

Now that I think about it, technically that is not a run flat tire.

Must be a recent change. On my BMWs I had no choice but to take run flat tires. More uncomfortable than regular tires but no biggie on my X3.

Default Received mailing after purchase - Roadside Card enclosed

I received this package 3 weeks after delivery from Porsche Atlanta HDQ that had my Roadside Assistance Card in it and some other goodies........it is much appreciated follow-up.........what is interesting is that on my used CPO cars that I have purchased, I always receive a Certificate of Authenticity, which is more valuable than the selling brochure they sent..........interesting.....on a new car no COA......hmmm.......



Welcome post purchase package.....

My SA always includes the COA, typically comes later then the welcome package. Not all dealers do it.
