Got in nail in my Touring's rear right tire last Monday. Mine came from the factory with Dunlops. Took the car in yesterday (Friday). Tire will arrive Thursday. Porsche DTLA. This is the first time I have had a tired changed on the Touring, so not sure how common those tires are anyway. Thank goodness for the wheel and rim protection insurance. It paid for itself on my GTS and I am sure it will do the same on the GT3.

It's toilet paper all over again - oh, there is going to be a shortage of tires, so let's get a few sets each. Except most tires are not even getting used now. Even with weekend runs, it will take a couple of years to wear a set. That's much slower than 2-10 sets per year one can go through with daily driving and tracking. There will be enough tires.
