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 …

The Michelin Choice Award At WERKS Reunion: Why We Picked This RSR Replica

9/23/201610:13 estFiled to: Porsche Car ShowsBy: Bradley Brownell3 Comments

A couple of weeks ago we got a message from Michelin asking if we'd like to judge on their behalf during the PCA's WERKS Reunion Porsche concours, a pretty big part of Monterey Car Week. Ready for any challenge, of course we said we'd be honored to do so. Michelin Tires is one of the main sponsors of WERKS [and here at FLATSIXES.com], and as such …

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). …

Hoonigan Rauh-Welt Porsche 964 Video Short: “Time To Make The Donuts”

8/27/20143:28 estFiled to: HumorBy: Bradley Brownell4 Comments

Brian Scotto makes more donuts than Krispy Kreme in his RWB 964 called simply "Hoonigan". In this new video short put out by the children-trapped-in-adult-bodies over at Hoonigan, Scotto shreds a few tires in the extra-wide 964 Turbo, which has been appropriately nicknamed "Hoonigan Industries Tire Shredder" or HITS. The matte-white wide-body 911 …

The All-New Porsche Macan: An Off-Road Perspective

8/25/201412:51 estFiled to: Porsche MacanBy: Bradley BrownellComment

Porsche's Macan can't be an off-road performer, can it? The truck is clearly optimized for on-road comfort, and we've already discussed it's ability to embarrass lesser sports cars on the track, and nobody has ever heard of a 'soft-roader' built for parking lot prowess making any inroads in the off-road world. Well, Porsche's new Macan has a …

This Is Why Tires Play Such A Big Role In The LMP1 Class This Year

4/7/20144:57 estFiled to: UncategorizedBy: Pepper GirlComment

With this year's new regulations, tires play an even more important role than usual as their width has been reduced in an attempt to reduce fuel consumption. However, will a narrow tire provide the same performance and grip? Does each team get the same tire …

The Space Shuttle and Commercial Airplanes Use Nitrogen In Their Tires. Should You?

12/14/20093:00 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Pepper Girl20 Comments

The answer, it would appear, depends on who you ask. You see, Nitrogen is used in the space shuttle and in commercial airliners mostly because it is non-combustible. The likely hood of the tires on your Porsche getting hot enough, during normal driving, to explode is fairly slim . However, there are other reasons to consider …
