<1000 miles is too few for me even. I think my 3-4k/year/car barely justifies two, but hey! Great decision...

While those wheels admittedly look dorky, there is something to be said for /40 sidewall. Then roads are better pretty much anywhere else compared to where I live. I just put on a used set of 19's with /40 profile on my 981 and the ride comfort increase is noticeable compared to the 20's with /35 that I'm used to. I will have to replace one bubbled tire and yes, I lost a bit on looks. I do prefer the driving dynamics.

And based on a 15mi test, I prefer even the goodyear f1 asymm 2 (now up to 3, but my set came with the 2) to the pirelli p zero. I loathe the p zero's; no confidence at all in cool conditions, I guess low road noise is their only saving grace. All tires tested are porsche N-spec (doubt it matters).
