Has anyone else with a 991 S experienced the following: At random (but very noticeable at around 70mph) the steering veers to the right for about 2 seconds and then very noticeably corrects itself? If you let go of the steering wheel and you were in the inside lane on the motorway you would be in the fast lane within a second.
The car is a 991 s with PDK, Sport Chrono, 20" Sport Classic wheels etc.
The car has been with Porsche for about a week, fitted in with some official standard recall items. Porsche couldn't work out what it was until they got in contact with Germany and discovered that a rear tyre was incorrect.
I had to replace my rear left tyre at a local garage, I called in the details of the tyre that I required but crucially was unaware the you had to buy the fabled "N" rated tyre. I was very dubious that this could be the problem. However, having forked out £380 for the replacement yesterday I have no twitching.
I thought the 'N" rated stuff was nonsense. However, Porsche Germany said that data obtained from my car indicated that the wheel was turning at a slightly different rate (compounds and circumference were mentioned) this lead to the car self-correcting itself to make up for the differences. I wouldn't have thought this possible if it wasn't for the fact that the problem has now been resolved.
I would be very interested to hear if anyone else has experienced the same issue. Also, I now have a part worn tyre sitting in my back garden with about 700 miles on it that I don't need. Does anyone want to make an offer for it? It's a Pirelli PZero 235/30/zr20.
The lone car from Porsche was a standard Boxster with PDK. The new version looks nice and handles really well. You can really feel that it's mid-engined. The only downside was the lack of a soundtrack and there is no torque, though I have probably been spoiled by my 911 to be fair.
