Nice! I almost went silver but chickened out due to the massive amounts of brake dust which make mine look black anyway. post pics when you get yours!

Call Damon directly, they are the OE Porsche N0 spec tires.

46.1 lbs front
54.3 lbs rear
After reading various experiences with TPMS over time... Could you perhaps share if you used Porsche sourced TPMS or other?

Thanks for sharing.

The TPMS Tirerack used are the same as OE, but not stamped with the Porsche part number. They paired to the car quickly and are working well so far.

The tires are scarce and on backorder frequently, but I have had some luck sourcing them recently.

I can't always promise I can get them, but I'm happy to try. Contact me via phone next time you need them and I will see what I can do.

AFAIK Tirerack is required to keep stock for dealers. That means that non-dealer customers will have to take a back seat per the Michelin/Porsche agreement.

Geez

Mike, are the rear wheels 10 inch or 11 inch wide? The tirerack site brings up 19" or 20" by 10

My rears are 20x11 Leggera HLT. I think the Ultraleggera HLT is only listed in 10" wide.

I tried to stay as close to OEM sizes as possible to avoid rubbing, but the front are a bit closer to the fender as the offset is a little more aggressive than stock. They still are inset from the fender though and I haven't had any issues on the street, so I'm hopeful I won't have any rubbing on track.

Do you have a side pic? Any rubbing under full compression / steering? Looks damn good.

Side pic like below what you are looking for?

No rubbing including on track at COTA.

Looking forward to a report. I may buy the same set for next month at COTA.

For what it's worth, I've been able to buy N0 Cup 2's on short notice from my local Porsche service shop for the same price as TireRack offers. Only "downside" being I have to go to the dealer to pick up the tires.

Nice, but in person, do these after market wheels with spokes that go to the edge look too big in 20"?

Personal preference of course but my biased opinion is it looks good to me.

I am also happy to report no rubbing through 5 sessions at COTA, and the wider front track fealt like it helped quell the understeer a bit. I did remove the center caps however as they are only stuck on and would probably fly off on track.

There are also some pretty serious bumps on the way to COTA that compress the suspension abruptly, and I had no rubbing issues there either. I currently have factory alignment and camber, ymmv of course.. but I'm happy with this wheel and tire setup as a second set.
