Would the new 2010 Turbo have Bridgestones?

 

I have heard that they have gone to a more plush giving tire on the GT3's for 2010 to compensate for the solid subframe mounts, maybe they did this on the turbo as well?

 

I think it has as much to do with who gives them the best tire deal than anything else.

 

What a shame

 

I read that the new reformulated Bridgestones are almost as sticky as the Michelin Sport Cups in either Excellence or GT Purely Porsche

 

psc's will rape them ne day, but the 10 tt is very much more a street car than ne thin and is likely to be driven in that fashion so it doesnt really matter imo

 

Plus it's got a wet sumper engine.

 

just as a side note excellence is written by the sponsers so take everything in it with a grain of salt

 

i dont think Bridgestones are bad tyres at all. On the contrary they're quite sticky

 

Baron is correct. Excellence is a marketing vehicle for Porsche and other brands. It's a great magazine, but I would like to see a balanced review of a new model once in awhile. They always overdo the reviews - the recent article,"2010 Turbo: Porsche Answers its Critics", is one of the worst pieces of 'fluff' journalism that I have ever read. And the new 998 Turbo will get similar rave reviews.
