I'm curious - how old were the tires? Old tires, say 6 or 7 years get very hard and will not grip at all - especially in the rain. That is one reason I replace my tires at 5 years no matter how much tread is left.

Thanks, I autocrossed for the season PCA two years ago. It probably saved me from hitting someone or simple ruining my car.

The damage to the right side of the front bumper, my paint guy can take car of that. I just had that bumper painted last year to remove scratches
New rubber on the way. I have a DE event in March I want to make.

I am a way old guy. I also used to drive a school bus when I was younger. I actually built this car so I have been around the block a bit. I did take the foot off the gas and the car slowed. However the hydroplaning sent me across the freeway. I was lucky. I think it could have been worse if I hadn't remembered my autocross training and bus driver training. So I like Bridgestones as I think they are pretty sticky. Only other sticky tires I would love are Falkens 462, I had them on my M5. They don't make them anymore though. I may go back to the Michelin. I just went out to the Garage and looks like the lights and the PSM is working normal now. Will probably pick up some tires tomorrow. Would love some slicks for the DE event by next month too.

about 4 years old.

PSM works but it is not infallible and does nothing when hydroplaning, but I expect Porsche drivers to know that.

Dennis,

Glad you're OK. Do you have pictures of the front tires so we can see how worn the tread actually is on both the inner and outer, or a penny or tire depth gauge to provide us a measurement? Thanks.

Thanks Petz. The fronts are fine. The rears are the ones that I replaced today. Got some michelins and replaced the fronts too. Lincoln's head was covered on the fronts. Tires were old though. I also got some for the Cayenne. Now need to get the bumper fixed. My paint guy can get it in next week. Will work on a shifter issuer while it's in the garage as well.
