What are people currently running on their 924 GTs? I have a set of old Yoko A008s in 205 55 16 and 245 50 16 configurations - anybody running alternatives, if so what? The car was set up for track work with some pretty harsh shocks - I want to soften things for the upcoming trip to France but don't quite know what to select - the current ones look like yellow Koni sports but I haven't got up close - anyone got advice?
Thanks
Dave

I'm running Koni Sport adjustable shocks. They are a little too stiff but the LSD helps in keeping traction on bumpier surfaces.

I've had Yokohama AVS Sports which I didn't rate much especially in cold weather. I found the sidewalls on Pirelli P-Zero Rossos were too stiff and gave too much bump steer.

I'm currently running on Bridgestone S02's in the Porsche N3 compound which give good grip in all weathers, and have a softer sidewall so counter the stiffness of the Konis. I've been very pleased with their grip, ride and feedback.

Nick
