Hi Chipper, Thanks for your thoughts on 19" vs. 18" and the harshness of the ride. I ordered and purchased a 2006 C2 specifically for the 18" wheels (and I did not like the white aluminum dials (only to learn after my purchase that the dials can be ordered in other darker colors)) and am really sorry that I did not include the PASM option.

As this was my first Porsche and I'm 59, I too find the ride a bit harsh at times (mostly due to the poor roads we have here in CT and NY). Being a Tiptronic driver, I could not find that many dealers having cars to test drive, nor those who where knowledgeable about how I could address the exchanging of 19" for 18" wheels / tires.

Mine came with the Conti Contact Sports, and am happy with them as you are too.
