I just got new rubber, 8 year old PZERO replaces with new MPS4s ....... the difference in comlpliance is absolutely insane.
Yeah, I think the difference in displacement makes a difference. I drove a 987.1 Boxster S yesterday and the .3 liter increase in displacement over my Cayman's 2.9 was apparent during normal sub 4,000rpm driving. The 2.9 seems to pull stronger above 6,000rpms, but below that, the 3.2 felt a bit stronger.

I'm jealous of your tire replacement and I'm glad to hear that there is such an improvement in compliance.

BTW, those side decals look nice. Very subtle.
