FWIW, Porsche factory driver Patrick Long advocates 10-and-2 and no shuffle. When he drives, his hands never move from the wheel in a corner unless absolutely required for hand-over-hand in the sharpest of corners. His reason: by maintaining grip on the wheel, the driver always knows where "center" is...key whenever adhesion is lost.by Bob C. - Main Forum
I like the Sumitomos and also Kumho Ecstas. Reasons? Price is right, and feel is enhanced. While they don't have the outright handling capability of OEM tires (particularly Michelins), they're more communicative via sidewall flex, progressive slide characteristics, and sound.by Bob C. - Main Forum
I drove an S with ventilated seats from Atlanta to Charleston (and back) last fall. Above 80 degrees humid or 85 degrees non-humid, they're a revelation. However, I found the padding a bit lacking.by Bob C. - Main Forum
