I love the e39. I think it's one of the best looking cars ever made.

Snow tires on today, so don't expect any snow any time soon.

Is there even any snow in your forecast? Or are you just a precrastinator?

And you were so close to having WTF in your plate. Bummer.

Maybe some next week? But the Pilot Sports are crap in the cold, so might as well switch.

I've had the What Ze Fuck plates on 3 cars now. No way I'm giving them up.

If you think MPSS are crap in the cold, try p-zero's with 13.5k miles. They make the Boxster feel like it has 600hp.

Plenty of tread remaining on the pirelli's, but must be something about the boxster and cayman (or how equ drives) and heat cycles. My first cayman got to low rear grip at 15-16k miles on the PS2's (not a comparable tire to the PSS) so I changed them out at 17k miles. This P0 set was feeling done at 12-13k. We'll see how long I can last.

In contrast, my 987.2 and 997.2 were on potenza re050's (050a maybe). While never a fun tire, those things wore like iron.

I mean, it was less than 1cm. But yes, there was snow on the ground when I woke up this morning.
