Congrats on the car. Please try to use complete sentences in your posts and the caps are not needed. I can't follow what you are trying to say.

well i'm not native english speaker and it is a bit harder for me to write "complete sentences". A (capital A)ll i was sayin (which apparently was not clear enough) is that i got something stuck on my rear tire. Since the car is all ready 3 years old and my tires are stocks ill go ahead and will replace them with Michelin pilot sport 4s.

Thanks, the P0 are really horrible probably also due to their age on my car but you are absolutely right they noisy. Probably Porsche got great deal since all the TTs are coming pre-installed with them.

Cheers Papa, was visiting Heyer (Tony) today so he could inspect my car. Tony is simply amazing and an artist, He loved my car found literally nothing (except for the dashboard leather which is a bit wrinkled) took it for a drive. My next journey is replacing my 4 wheels at Custom Alignment 2 blocks from Heyer's which Tony recommend.

Yeah, Tony is great. As for Custom Alignment it is not what it used to be, although Tony still recommends them. The best tire /alignment shop was Sleek Motoring, next to Tony. It was run by a Porsche owner and ex Porsche dealership mechanic. Top of the line equipment too. Unfortunately it is closed, as it was not cheap, so not too many were willing to pay what IMO the service he provided truly deserved.

You're communication is fine, Udi. Ignore Jim 991.
It seems right side (passenger) tires are more prone to punctures and other damage from nails etc.
You will like the Michelins over the P Zeros.

That is so funnny. Thanks for the laugh.

I have only owned white and Blue Pcars. I almost bought a black edition but passed. Someone on this forum told me that black cars look great for about 20 min after you wash it.

I think you were referring to my car and it is a Fabspeed exhaust and tips. I'm hoping to switch out the exhaust to a Dundon exhaust, hopefully by summer with OEM tips to keep it incognito.
