Raises another questions: What wheels and tires do you folks recommend for the 08S and where do you find the best prices for them. Apologies if there is already a good thread on this.
I've never yet seen a piece of Chinese rubber that was worth the match to burn it. But assuming it's your first Porsche, no apologies required. I didn't know there was such a thing as a Porsche-approved tire list either. You can get one here.
I'm still thinking of 20" Victor Zehn's. I see them in 10" and 8.5" (also sometimes a 9.5", I think). In all cases, the recommended tire size seems to be 275/40. What would be the difference in appearance and/or function with an 8.5" vs a 10" wheel on a 275?
