Maybe the Corsa, but the real quesiton would be the alignment settings that would work for this car on the street.
I think this is all part of the fun of the "new" 911 -- figuring out all this stuff all over again.

Living in a country with four seasons, a temperate climate and semi cold winters, I have found that if my tastes run to MPSC tyres in the summer months, I need something for the 'shoulder seasons' as well as winter tyres.
So 3 sets of tyres, for shoulder I use Continental Sport Conti 2 or Yokohama AVS Sport, or those nice Goodyear's, for winter, I prefer a tyre designed for 240kph max speed and a temperature range of -15 to +15 Celcius, so use either AVS Winter or the Dunlop winter tyre.
I do not resent having to have three sets of rims, I don't think it does low profile tyres any good being taken on and off the rims several times. I also have a preference for TPM systems.
