New Shoes For Your Classic Porsche Can Make All The Difference

1/2/20191:59 estFiled to: Tires and Wheels, UpgradesBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

So I have this Talbot Yellow 1976 Porsche 912E that I drive a lot. It doesn't get mentioned much here, because it hasn't needed much work, it isn't much of a project car, and I just keep driving it. I have owned this car for just a tick over 2 years, and I take it on long road trips all over the country, racking up over 30,000 miles of in that …

The Michelin Man, “Bibendum”, Turns 120

8/16/20181:11 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Bradley BrownellComment

The Michelin Man, his 'real' name is Bibendum (Bib for short), has been a part of the automotive conversation for 120 years. Initially developed as a thin and ropy Frenchman built of thin motorcar and bicycle tires in the late 1890s, Bib enjoyed a drink and a cigar in his younger years, frequently found holding a coupe of Champagne. As he …

The Importance of Proper Tire Storage for Your Porsche

6/25/20174:53 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris Cushing4 Comments

Many of us own multiple sets of tires for our Porsches. Whether they are street tires and track tires, or summer tires and winter tires, it's a virtual guarantee that while one set is on your Porche the other is in storage. To prolong the life and preserve the performance of your tires, proper storage is key. For each set of tires, a number of …

Porsche and Michelin, a Match Made in Heaven for Five and a Half Decades

2/14/20178:04 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Innovation moves faster in competition. Both Porsche and Michelin have been involved in competition from nearly the very beginning. Michelin was founded in 1889, and by 1891 they were racing. The first Porsche 356 hit the road in June of 1948, and went racing almost immediately after. Porsche and Michelin first partnered up, officially, in 1961. …

An Inside Look at the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Launch!

1/27/20171:15 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris CushingComment

As a New Yorker I will take any opportunity to head South or West in the middle of winter. When Michelin offered to send me/FLATSIXES.com both South AND West, in the middle of January, my bag was packed before I finished reserving flights. The first session of the PS4S launch had near-perfect weather, which served as an ideal background for the …

We Travel to Palm Springs to test the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S

1/23/201712:14 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris Cushing8 Comments

We have a close relationship with Michelin. Project Boxster uses a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, Michelin has brought us to launches in the past, and we are working with Michelin on additional projects for the future. To launch the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, the replacement for the vaunted Pilot Super Sport, Michelin brought us to Palm Springs, …

Winter Tires For Your Porsche: They’re Not Just For Snow and Ice Anymore

12/23/201611:06 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris Cushing2 Comments

Parting with summer tires is a challenge every year. I try to put off swapping from my summer rubber 'til the last possible moment. As a Northeasterner snow tires are de rigueur from late October through at least the end of March. On the surface the switch from quiet, grippy, summer rubber to winter tires often doesn't seem worth it until the snow …

One Year With Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tires

10/24/20163:47 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Bradley Brownell4 Comments

Let me begin by saying that this report on my experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire is entirely based on subjective feedback. When we purchased our Boxster, the tires were already well worn, and certainly were not even in the same category of performance as the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires we have now. Not only that, but the old Sumitomo …

4/25/201610:47 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Pepper Girl3 Comments

Most of us know how seriously Porsche is committed to their heritage and history, but every once in a while they give us a reminder, anyway. Take the press release we used to write this post. It contains information and links to tire recommendations for every "classic" Porsche made from 1959 (starting with the 356 B) 2005 (ending with the 996). …

Behind The Scenes At Le Mans With Michelin

6/28/201510:48 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Roger Garbow3 Comments

Le Mans. Just saying the name brings to mind grainy images of brave racers running to their cars and battling for glory on the world's biggest racing stage. Modern in-car videos of daring passes at dizzying speeds, shots of haggard crews working seamlessly as one to keep their cars fueled and running until the flagger waves the checkers one last …
