Yeah, in hindsight I may have left it a bit later, as we are having quite a mild October here in the UK.

Is it already below 40 where you are located? Seems a little early.

Your car looks great!

Thanks! I have to plan ahead around work, so I gambled on mid-October. As it happens, we’re having a mild October here! Typical!

This time of year, even if you are in the 60's during the day, it can quickly dip to 40... or below that... in the evenings, toss a little rain on top of that and you will be glad you erred on the side of caution.

I am thinking of going with OZ HLT wheels, pretty light and lot less $$$$ than Porsche branded.

P.S. Car looks great

Love the yellow! Do you have RAS? I read somewhere you can’t go 19swith RAS. True?

Looks awesome! I agree with Al.Fresco; I would rather be upset I could have squeezed some more love from the summer tires than be upset that there are inches of snow on the ground and have to coordinate getting the summers off.

jkyrennist - From what I read, and saw when I looked at tires on Suncoast, the 19" cannot work with the RAS. You'll have to go 20".

Thank you.

I don’t have RAS. If you have RAS or PCCBs, you can’t fit 19” wheels.

Well, the forecast here for tomorrow morning is only 6 degrees centigrade,so maybe not too early after all.

That’s apparently 42.8 degrees fahrenheit.
