Prior to my 2013 base 991 C2, I had a 2001 996TT that I drove for a few years and never became fully comfortable with the steering "feedback". I sold it and bought an M5. When I test drove the 991 I found this trait much improved, but I still don't particularly like the steering wheel wiggling around and jerking out of my hands when driving aggressively over rough or uneven pavement. This is especially bothersome in mid corner at high speeds. Does this bother anyone else? I also wonder if it is less noticeable in cars with PASM or PDCC. My 991 is a base car so the suspension is softer which likely contributes to some of this. It seems the more I drive it lately, the more I notice it. I am about ready for tires, so maybe going to Michelin PSS's will help. During my recent 10k service I got a new Cayman as a loaner and that car seemed to track much better and didn't have that wiggly steering trait. I found the Cayman much more "relaxing" to drive because the steering wasn't transferring so much feedback to my hands. I am curious if this is an issue for anyone else.

 

It's a Porsche! You can't get feedback without some kickback on poor roads, if that's your goal them you need to drive a Buick, or a Mercedes (the German Buick). Wide tires will also transmit more than narrower ones.

 

The 981 and 991 steering share the parts and geometries and should feel pretty much the same, assuming same tires and pressures. They both are very different from the older cars and have the "wiggling wheel" purposely dialed out.

But check your door post and manual tire pressure tables. If your tires are inflated for high speed high load running (e.g. way high) try adjusting the tire pressures down towards the comfort settings. Everything gets better, but then don't drive over 160 with the car loaded.

PSSs will in any case be better (handling, noise and comfort) than the tires that came with your car. They are better all around than the P0s that came originally on my S.

 

I think this is the first time I read a complaint about the 991 steering being too alive.
Don't tell TopGear
I agree that in the older cars it can be a bit of an issue if you have a long drive - it does get tiring after a while, can't deny that.
The 991 however is fine - I can drive it for 1000 miles in a day and my arms don't fall off while still getting all feedback I would ever need. I thinks it's quite good.

As for feedback during fast cornering. I think you may prefer this over no feedback at all. This is the feedback that tells you how much you are pushing. When you start getting to the point where the fronts get unhappy - you feel that instantly (yes, even in a 991). It's good to have.
