Thank you - where do you find the valid tire options for this car? I knew the 19" rims were not standard and only found the stock dimensions listed on most sites.
I have an AWD 996 with 19" wheels and those are the tires that came on it - and it drives beautifully.
What is needed for sizes that are non-stock is to match as close as possible the factory tire diameter. The front tires need to be a bit larger diameter than the rears to make the AWD work correctly.
The sizes I listed: 235/35-19 is 25.47" and the 315/25-19 is 25.28" which is perfect. The 305/30-19 is 26.3" - much too big, it needs to be smaller than the front.
I've had an issue with a mouse in my car lately so after a client picked up their car from detailing I checked on the 911. Noticed some mouse droppings on the dash and floor so he obviously hasn't vacated the premises yet. Started pulling apart the front and found my boy Milton along with his/her friend a big old red boi. Gonna try to rig something up to catch them overnight. Getting sick of getting in and worrying about a mouse running around, I mean they are kinda cute but I would prefer them not in my car lol.
I respect the humane thing, but those little critters have friends and they like to party....at your expense. Get a couple of snap traps baited with peanut butter and be done with it. I store my M1009 (a military Blazer) out on the driveway and have had a few mice find their way in. They can be destructive and they sink if left alone for any period of time. After I caught three inside my truck (the snap traps), I put the traps under the hood. So far, they have not wandered inside the truck and have been caught outside the people compartment.
I would rather collapse the population of those critters around the house than replace wiring in any of my vehicles.

For sure, that is my biggest concern is the wiring. I just need the other to take the bait, if the other one hasn't taken fallen in yet I don't think the type of trap would make a difference. I gotta work today but I might grab one tomorrow and put it outside the car if the other doesn't end up in the bucket. I've lived here for 26 years and I don't recall ever having this issue before. I've had signs of animals on cars I've left outside that sat for a while but not on the inside, probably just need to drive it more.
I know of at least one instance of a car (not a Porsche) so badly damaged by mice that the insurance company totaled it.
I've heard on some cars the material the harness or wires are made of attract critters. I drove it the other day to the store with Milton running around on the passenger side. Hopefully no damage is done but I suppose next winter I will have to set traps around the car.
Well today I paid an $10k bill for preventative maintenance plus new radiators, then I went for a 200 mile drive in the desert to shake it down. So much fun.

We
please let us know what the $10k bill cover. That’s the price of a roller.
Haha yeah thanks man. Did struts and alignment too actually but that was a few weeks ago. It's been in the shop for a few weeks and I started looking at new Supras while I was bored.. But then I got it back and now I remember why I love it so much.
