If you go 1 size up on the front (245/35x19) you'll find you will have better mid-corner balance & a much reduced tendency to understeer. The 991 GT3 uses these tyre widths, albeit in a 20" fitment.

Looks better on the 7.2 than the 7.1, thanks PF I really appreciate the effort you made there. I love your car too! The MPSS feel good on the car so I guess I should focus on that, after all it's more important!

No problem...I took it out today having not driven it in over a month. Felt good to be in it. Hadn't thought about how they look before your comments on other thread...made me have a closer look and take the pics. I guess the difference, as you can see in the Michelin picture, is it has very square shoulders. I think it gives a more aggressive stance and certainly does so on my RS6. I'll answer you other question on the other thread, there so as not to confuse...
