Three key points of running

Since the Boxster is MR, the back tires can be relatively shaved, but as for the front tiresIf you don't accelerate or steer too fast, you won't lose that much ground."It seems. So, my husband is aware of the following three points about running.

(1) Accelerate carefully when starting off.

Tires areI can sharpen it just as it's about to move from a standstill."Therefore, do not start off suddenly from a speed of 0 km/h. Acceleration at startup should be done carefully andThe tires roll, and after a certain amount of speed has been achieved, the intermediate acceleration begins."Image.

(2) Smooth handling on corners

When you turn a corner, you mustInstead of turning the wheel after entering a turn, I prepare before entering the turn and try to run as straight a line as possible."Be mindful. This is not so much running as worrying about the tires.I do it because it's safer and smoother to run in a straight line, with less G's."He said, "This is the way I was taught to drive in the warm-up for the Porsche Driving School. This is the driving style that was drilled into him during the warm-up session at the Porsche Driving School.

(iii) No emergency braking

Sudden braking is not good for the tires, so they step on the brakes slowly and do not step on them hard.

My husband's Boxster tires are Goodyear.

Incidentally, there are two types of tires used on the Boxster, Pirelli and Goodyear, and presumably the timing of factory production changes which tires are used.The tires on my husband's Boxster GTS are Goodyear.My husband is a

Goodyear tires are pretty good. Well, Michelin tires are the best, but they don't have Porsche-approved tires in the Boxster GTS size.

He said.

I see - there are a lot of things. Porsche tires cost about 50,000 a piece and they are expensive.It's important to make your tires last longer by driving smoothly.This may be the case.

Incidentally, the new Panamera Turbo has a lot of power and is a heavy car, so at about 10,000 km now, the grooves are already pretty well worn down. it doesn't look like it will last until 20,000 km, so I guess it depends a lot on the type of car.

From now on, when I drive the Panamera, I will try to be aware of the way it drives.
