Slightly higher rating than required but they seem a good price.

Just put those exact ones on mine. Same car as yours. See viewtopic.php?f=25&t=19346&start=15 (which we both posted to). I bought those because they are currently recommended by Porsche. In the absence of more personal knowledge than Porsche themselves, that was a good enough recommendation for me.

It's been damp every day since I got them, so can't comment on how good they are on dry roads. As for damp conditions - well I drive pretty assertively, but rarely test the limits. Not found any ditches (and hopefully never will!).

Cheers,
Bryan
