Need a new pair of rear tires
 
Newbie needs some advice....
My car has P-Zero tires. The front pair are in good shape but the rear ones need to have a new set. Should I stay with P-Zero or I can use some other brand for the rear. If yes then any recommendation ? Thanks.

Kevin,
If you need new rear tires, and you don't want to replace all four, stay with the P-Zeros. To be honest, I'm surprised that the rears are in that condition. Maybe you should ask Marc what he's been doing with your car while you're not home! :twisted:
So, how do you like it? Curious minds really want to know. . .

Don,
Marc gave the P key to my 19 years old daughter when I was still on vacation and she had so much fun with it (just kidding). I just want to be prepared, the rear tires have more wear than the front ones. Also, I am thinking of 2 sets of tire, one for the track and one for the street. By the way, my wife and I were surprised about the cosmetic look of the car. I am impressed with the sound of its engine. You were right, it has power. I had so much fun driving it. Imagine if I had DE, then my fun will be tripple :lol:. Are you back in VA yet?

Kevin, I took months off my tires at the DE last week. If I had the storage space and/or a tow vehicle, I'd love a set of Hoosier slicks. But I just look at my totally shot rear Kumhos as a chance to get some wider ones until the fronts wear out, which means I'll then have to upgrade to 18" wheels. And I think you'll need a roll cage to do DE's, which means you might as well get racing seats with 5-pt. harnesses, a fire extinguisher...you get the idea. Welcome to the very slippery slope of Porsche ownership.

Kevin,
I trust you're happy with the car. . . I tried to trade my SC for it. :lol: I'm esconced in the dorm at Catholic U for the next four months. Looking forward to VIR in two weeks (at least I'll have a room that has a/c, unlike here). Cell # is the same, PM me, and we'll touch base.
