4 years ago I also snagged a seal gray turbo for my first Porsche, and I'd be just fine if I can hang on this car for the next 20+ years and make it my last Porsche as well.
I have a section of new pavement I run various tire/wheel combinations on; car is good with alignment, both sets of tires are 'new', however, when I mounted the Falkens, I immediately drove on the same section of road, so I did not get the same sense of vibration, or hum - I simply attributed that to a softer compound.
Further investigation between the PS2s and the PS3s (M5) driven back to back shows a very clear evolution of the PS design - the M5 weighs approx. 1100 pounds more and is only driven in the rear. Despite that, I feel the PS3s would hook up much better, even with all the weight over the rear axle with the 996... and when you compare both the PS2s and 3s against the PS4s (991.2 Turbo S), there is nothing I want more than a PS4 in 235/315/18s for the 996...
i'm going to venture, you know better than I and i havent run ps2's in quite some time though years ago that was all i would use.. but given my rears last about 4k - 5k tops, so any perceived "benefit" to the PS3 in the rear is ( for me ) offset by price. though i do prefer the PS3 in front and i'm rwd. i just really like the rt615k+'s great tire and at least $150 less than ps3's. works for me!
Sharp car! Especially like the look with the E88’s and black accents including the mobile pony. Love it!
Although those BBS wheels are a big pain in the a$$ to clean. I dread the chore after track days...
Whats the circle in the front grill? Break cooling duct?
thank you. I have the detailing of the e88's dialed in. some special cleaners and tools it's a labor of love.
the circles behind the grills are cnc'd 6061 hard anodized brake cooling flange, it's designed to reinforce the ducting and liners with an inner flange that sandwiches the liner with machine screws into the silver ring from the inside. there is an inner liner ring that the ducts mounts to also..

I would love to know your method for cleaning these wheels. Again, beautiful car!
