  1. I have experienced a similar problem with my 996 C4S Cabriolet. About 3 months and 3,000 miles ago I installed a set of Michelin PS-2 tires. Since then I have experienced 2 road hazard events which resulted in ruining the rear tires (I didn't stop quickly enough). My thinking is that if I had real time tire pressure monitoring, I may have been able to stop the car before the tire's destruction. My car did not come with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. There seem to be at least 2 types of after market real time TPMS: one interior to the wheel using the valve stem, and another using a special valve cap mounted on the normal valve stem. The interior version would require remounting all of the tires and would be dificult to include both the summer and winter tires. On the other hand, the exterior valve cap system puts an extra bit of weight (~ 9 gr) on the valve stem. However, the valve stem caps could be swapped between the two sets of wheels (e.g., summer & winter) and be useful year round. My concern is that the valve cap's extra weight could put extra stress on the valve stem and might constitute a hazard at speed. Is this a credible concern?
  2. 2004 C4S Cab 6 speed that just turned 110,000. Is running great with good mileage, and no oil consumption. Bought it 3 years ago with 80,000 on it. Recently had Clutch, IMS, and water pump replaced. Best driving car yet is great on long trips!
