Yes it did, 1st time I've had Bridgestones, haven't driven enough miles to compare to the PS2s yet.

Thanks for the reply. Mine came with PS2 Michelins. Due to price I would be tempted to buy the Bridgestones when I need new tires. For street driving which comes no where near the limit of these cars i wonder if the Bridgestones would be the best choice.

why did you go so conservative in the rears with 11s only? that's like narrowbody width.
the wheels look ok.. pretty conservative which is cool if that's your thing. the typical 911 driver is... conservative.

Dave - how did you decide btwn 11x19 in the rear as opposed to 12x19? In my 08 997 C4S, I'm thinking about going with HRE P43s, which are also available in 11" and 12" like the P40s. My current Carrera Sport Wheels are 11.5"...

I just went with the recommend wide body 19" sizes for front and rear
I really like the 997.2 changes, the touch screen PCM,Nav,iPod and bluetooth are great. And then it gets better, the new DFI engine feels really strong, great low end and mid range. The PDK trans is fantastic, just needs correct padels. And the thing that really sold me were the Sport Bucket seat, great driving position and they look great also
Porsche really nailed it with the 997.2, I really think it's that good...

It does sound nice with the PDK and DFI addition. I also like the touch screen nav. I think Porsche should have started with touch screen from the beginning and the black face look. Is it gloss or matte finish? I know some people actually order the face in leather.

Its kinda matte, leather would look nice but $$$$.
