I’ve been refreshing TYD about 100 times a day waiting for production pics and even tried the hack multiple times to no avail. To my surprise, I not only got the pics today but got this whole new version of TYD. Pretty cool. I downloaded all pics easily. So happy it’s finally gonna be here in a couple weeks! Color is Oslo Blue.
Jealous of you guys. I never got the 4th pic of the completed car. My car is stuck in Baltimore (Made it through Emden in 1 day) but dealer shows that I am in the body shop. Hope there wasn't a ton of damage.
Nonetheless I closed the transaction today (due to it being bank holiday Monday) and have a 181k folder in my car to show for it.

I never got the 4th picture either (the one with the tires on), just the first 3. Weird. I got a URL for the jpg but it's a broken link. Also I've never heard of anyone getting through Emden in 1 day, that was lucky, although not so lucky to need the body shop.
I am a little excited...TYD showed that my car was scheduled to ship yesterday and I know a ship just left 2/15. I looked at the schedule online and the dates did not align. So I called PWL Shipping and asked.
I guess I lost the tire lottery since mine shows Goodyears.
Words cannot describe how much I wanted Michelins this time. This sounds melodramatic to say but the excitement of getting my production pics yesterday was more than offset by the realization that I got Goodyears again. I was very disappointed, especially after seeing so many Michelins in the mix lately. I actually spent some time last night reading/watching tire reviews (some of which I’d seen before) confirming that all of the OEM tires are pretty damn good. Then I woke up today and just thought OK, this is definitely not worth being bothered about.
I had Pirellis on my 2017 C2S. They were fine. Goodyears were on my 2022 C2S. They were pretty good but I only put 1000 miles on that car. Guess I’ll get to try them again this time. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of life but I couldn’t help being bummed.

I definitely wanted the Michelins but after having Pirellis on a Viper (they were terrible), I'm ok with getting the Goodyears over the Pirellis.

Agree. My preference was Michelin, GY, Pirelli in that order.
GYs are fine, I like the square sidewalls and honestly, their strengths per tests seem to align well with the type of driving I’ll be doing (mixed but with plenty of freeway driving). Trying to look at the bright side.

My first 911 is days away. I got the Michelin’s. Does that really have that much of an impact on the feel of the ride?
mine just arrived the dealer today and I get to see it Monday. also have Michelins. I had the good years they were pretty decent. hoping for lower highway noise with the michelins.

Yes... I have owned cars with pretty much all of the various brands and the Michelin's are always a meaningful improvement in driving comfort, feel and noise. To be honest, grip is similar between the groups but the other characteristics are better on Michelin tires.
