Run flats would be a great solution.
AFter only 800 miles on our new CS, we already had our first screw puncture of our PS2s. Fortunately, the
TPMS system indicated a low tire pressure of 30 psi on the rear tire, and my wife was not stranded in her CS. Our Porsche dealer recommended replacement of the tire, but I could not see throwing away the practically new rear tire. She does not track the car. So instead of spending $350 - $400, I paid $4.95 for a plug and patch, and a $5 tip. Runs just great so far.
Run flats would be a great option. Since there are run flats available for a ZR1, it would seem a viable option for an non-tracked Porsche as a daily driver. Does anyone have any experience with putting runflats on their Cayman?

TPMS - The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides early warning of any drop in pressure by continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire and alerting you in the onboard computer display in the event of a pressure deficiency. It communicates the exact pressure of each tire and/or their deviation from ideal pressure. This does away with the need for regular air pressure checks at the service station, which often prove highly inconvenient.
See the TPMS FAQ for more info. |
