I've never seen anything about this, but sounds interesting. Do you remember the source for this?

I had similar experience ages ago after swapping OZ superlight wheels onto an Integra Type R. I've read PCCB's are 5kg lighter per corner (is that correct??) - I would guess that a 5kg drop in unsprung weight would cause a significantly noticeable difference in handling feel, even at street/autocross speeds, but doesn't seem to jibe with a lot of the feedback here

On the streets, or really anywhere outside of a closed circuit, no one will ever notice a difference in driving dynamics unless you are breaking the law.
If you're at law-breaking speeds you're going to be too busy looking the rear-view mirror to notice any dynamic difference.

If they don't bite in the cold they're unsafe, all season tires will crack from the cold ergo they're unsafe. Up here, elsewhere...ymmv

Looks like they opted for all-seasons on the new e-ray.
How is driving the 992 4s in the snow there in Alaska? Do you get winter tires? Must be nice!

When I had the M3 I definitely noticed a difference. For a big car it felt lighter on its feet with ceramics. So much so that I’m considering lightweight wheels for my 992 S, which in theory I should notice even more of a difference.
