I run 5F 15R for daily driving and 15F 25R for weekend.
Leading evidence: 'Run 5f 15r' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair next year' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Actually I use the bad roads to practice my driving skills!

So much so that if they made all seasons in 295/30R18 I would probably run those exclusively.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok so I took my 996 out tonight to work and realized so many friggen roads are under construction and have been for a while. The sound of rocks hitting everything is cringe. Plus the manhole covers and potholes OUCH
My 996 needs suspension, option list says it has a touring suspension but I was thinking about US M030. It's on stock Turbo Twists.
I understand it's not a Cadillac nor a daily driver (I've got a Golf diesel for that)
What should I go with? I don't track it or nothing it's really just a nice weather commuter/cruiser.
Thanks!

I got Koni Special Actives on mine. I drive in downtown Chicago and it's some of the worst roads I've encountered.
The konis are great. Soaks up the low speed stuff, higher speed bumps are totally damped without being stiff, but lean it hard into a 2nd or 3rd gear corner when driving spirited and it'll firm up and feel great.
Paragon has a great package put together.
The roads on the OP sounds like what I left in NJ. Here in Fla. they are glass smooth for the most part. Some surface wear especially on I95, but I guess that is to be expected.

$1700.00 and two month loss of summer driving, rebuild with new barrels (Cargraphic)
New York repairs the same broken up roads for tons of money, only to have to repair next year again
same here in OK. there is one section of road locally that is literally a patchwork of filled in potholes from one side of the road to the other for a quarter mile
I live in NJ, so yes the roads are terrible. There are just too many cars to keep up with repairs.
Anyway, my car was originally a California car and the PO lowered it and went with 19" rims on Bilstein PSS10s (which feel pretty stiff, although they're adjustable). Basically, all the things you shouldn't do with bad roads. There's just not enough sidewall on these giant rims.
However, I like the look, and never drive in winter when frost heaves are the worst. I'm not contemplating any changes.
Here in the frozen north, the roads range from "When did we become a third-world country?" to "This is total crap".
That being said, I have two sets of rims/tires. My summer set: PZeros in stock sizes. My early spring/fall set: PZero AS+ in winter sizes. I can tell you there is a noticeable difference in comfort between the two. The all season tires are much more comfortable, and don't really give up anything in lateral grip during spirited highway and back road outings. So much so that if they made all seasons in 295/30R18 I would probably run those exclusively.
Minnesota roads are terrible. Putting my winter wheels/tires on in a week which helps because they're higher profile and softer, but still it almost makes me want to sell it.
There has been a huge amount of road work here in Central Ohio in the last few years, so we have a mix of really nice smooth pavement combined with a bunch of roads that would be quickly repaired in most third-world countries. I have 18” wheels, likely 17” would be better for this area but it does not ride too rough.

Most roads are good around here, but not right around where I live.
I have Feal coilovers.
They‘re adjusted at maximum height and set to almost fully soft during the week. (Daily driver)
I set them stiffer during the weekend.
I run 5F 15R for daily driving and 15F 25R for weekend.
That seems to dial out the understeer.
Here in Pa our Fine liberal Gov Wolf gave away 4.25 billion dollars of our fuel tax away That was for road repair . Illegally to the State police , I can go 3 rd world economy’s and find beautiful roads , Dig deep and you’ll see why they are that way.
I live in a "right" state and the roads sux here, too. Not sure it is all politically motivated as opposed to money motivated. I am considering buying a football mouth guard to protect my teeth! We have a computer reporting system for local government to report local issues. It seems to work well as stuff gets fixed. It's called "seeclickfix.com". If your area doesn't have it you could still contact your local representatives and/or city government. If they get tired of hearing about issues maybe they will fix some. Actually I use the bad roads to practice my driving skills!
