Running in Sport loosens it a little, Sport+ it is more loose. You can hold the traction control button for 3 seconds and it gets properly turned off. I would not recommend it in this weather though, unless you enjoy swapping ends on public roads! Running in sport with winter tyres I have on at...

I've also been surprised how much less grippy they are. The newer Eagle F1's Summers do seem excellent/improved but I think the combo of the winter tyres and the significantly thinner/less wide surface really makes a huge difference. I've been 'treading' pretty carefully since I've had them on.

This is the ackermann effect Tech Explained: Ackermann Steering Geometry - Racecar Engineering It's expected and I've found with RWS it's more pronounced

Have had this with multiple cars with high-end headlights (Mercedes and Audi for example). The unit has ventilation to allow moisture to escape. I only really notice this after washing the car thoroughly and it clears quickly.

Harry again gives us a perfect example of his bias in his latest car vid. He literally took the worst thing he could have done with this car - tow with it and did it. All because he "noticed it had a tow hook". Instead of saying that would be an impractical choice for an EV and perhaps to avoid...

Took these and thought it made the car look even more gorgeous than usual. Still love this car after 18 months+

I really like Harry and his reviews, but he really really is appalling at reviewing anything EV. The basic and fundamental mistakes and misunderstandings he has about EV's are embarrassing for someone who is a car journalist (albeit retired). And herein lies a lot of the issues. The lack of...

The G's mean very little to me and the drag times - meh But the Sapphire is supposed to be excellent cornering and feel. Would be interesting to drive one

No, but I understand Porsche rating tyres and being a little picky about it. The issue is how long and expensive Porsche make it for companies to do this. Tyres are the only thing that attaches the car to the road, so they’re a hugely important component of the car and I do understand Porsche...

I don't think Porsche would argue a warranty issue on charging with a non-Porsche charger, but they might with tyres. As I said: a lot of the decision is based around the fact I've actually been pretty happy with the tyres. I know @f1eng has said he is pretty happy with the Goodyear's as well...

Absolutely not, I just can't be bothered arguing with Porsche if there is a warranty issue. I concede that it's a marketing exercise, just not one I'm that bothered about arguing about. I'll add that the Asym's I've had on my car give awesome grip, feel and fall off progressively, so am pretty...

Black Circles have added a garage I trust to their network since I last used them, so am gonna go with them and with the Eagle Asym 5's as the 3's I had were decent and price is good too. Thanks for all the replies! ?

lol well the problem is it won’t fit anything other than the gen 2 wheels I don’t think and I’m over-cautious so will go with N rated. As you say: pretty sure it makes little difference and I wish that PS4’s were N rated as they’re my favourite tyres.

Cool. Which company fitted them? There's a load round here: F1 Autocentres, ATS, some independents etc

Who did you get fitting through? I've heard lots of people saying some shops don't put the car up properly and this can cause damage, May not be UK though

This isn't a tyre size for 21" RS Spyders?

Sorry for clarity: I have a full set of winter wheels and tyres that are stored in Porsche's 'tyre garage', this post is talking about replacing my summer tyres on my summer set of wheels (21" RS Spyders)

But they are not NF rated in 21s? Not that I can find

Porsche said that they wouldn't fit the Hankooks onto mine as they aren't N rated. Same wheels. I am looking at Goodyear Asym 5's, as they carry NF1 rating.
