Default New Shoes for my 970.2

Swapped out the Panamera Sports with the Michelin all seasons to the 20" Turbo II set up, with the OEM Continental ContiSports. Curious to see the weight difference: the Turbo II and Summers are a whopping 11 lb. lighter per axle....(Rear) and the fronts are about 8.5 lb. higher. In fairness the Pano Sport Wheels are .5" wider in the rears. I added some OEM 5mm spacers on the rear with the Turbo II...which helps. FYI.

I like the Turbo II setup better, and not sure you'll notice the weight different in daily driving.

I am liking the Turbo II set up and with the Summer tire compounds, and I noticed a bit more road noise but better overall steering feel. Agreed that the weight difference is not really noticeable in daily driving....but less unsprung weight is a good thing.
