I've run Bridgestone RE050 PP's for some time and thought they were ok, but when I needed to replace the rears and Bridgestone discontinued the 295's, I put 4 Michelin PS2's on the car.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

75 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Quote: good move. I've run Bridgestone RE050 PP's for some time and thought they were ok, but when I needed to replace the rears and Bridgestone discontinued the 295's, I put 4 Michelin PS2's on the car. The traction rate is the same, the PS2'S do have a slightly lower wear rating, but the grip and ride with the PS2's is superior to the Bridgestone. you were right to get four at the same time. big problems happen when not running matching pairs front and back. been there, done that...

Hello Gentlemen, RedOctober here from Dublin, Ireland, saying HELLO! After a long time checking out the 6speedonline 996 forums, I bit the bullet, sold the Evo 8 and picked my first Porsche up. 2003, currently 97K kilometers, manual 6 speed, full options with moonroof, litronics, PSE exhaust (LOOOOOVE IT), bought it April 2012. Completely bog standard for now till I pay off the loan. I visited 9ff in Dortmund, Germany recently, in view of creating the car I want. Will put up a couple of shots from the trip soon. Here's a couple of shot when I first picked it up: oh oh, struggling to figure out to get more pics up simultaneously. I'm useless at this R

POST 59Original post

The 996 C4S aero kit is rare and quite expensive. It consists of two pieces - the rear wing that you see above and an aero front spoiler that you don't see above. The front spoiler on Modern Walker's car is the standard C4S spoiler, although it's painted body color. You can see the proper front spoiler on Zookie's car in the photos above.
