There should be a warning that joining this forum can cost you money! I added PSE, something I considered mere stupidity less than 4 weeks ago. That addition was directly a result of feedback from this forum + one friend harping about how I must get PSE and wouldn't regret it........ Hope all you pro PSE guys prove correct. I will let you know next year. Now the wait begins.....

The sidewalls on Porsche´s cars are fairly stiff, you might not even notice it when it is parked. Therefore you can save a lot of damage to the rim in that instance. Furthermore the system works very accurate and shows any difference in pressure of a tenth of a bar. It would be one of the options I´d certainly recommend and it is fairly negligible considering the price of the entire car.

I did neglect to earlier mention that I did add the TPM also as a result of this forum which is why I say one should join this forum only at one's own risk. It can cost you!

I've heard TPMS is nuisance for trackers who'd love to disable it and many do. Is that true ? I don't plan to track so hopefully it won't annoy me.

They work on the track as well. They will not annoy you.
Living in South Florida, humidety central I would not concider the car without ventilated seats as daily driver.
