For your well-being and personal safety I'm glad you made that move in the last few seconds. Gorgeous car!

Yes, time to make space for the next project, whatever that is.

I note that you are running Club Sport wheels ala '89 GT. I also note that said wheels are shod with new looking tires. I have a set of Club Sport wheels that I'd like to put on my '91 928 GT but have been stymied by the dearth of 16 inch high performance tires, May I ask what tires you are running and where you sourced them? Sincerely Rod Handsfield, M.D., Wichita, KS.

I paused the video at just the right spot, and it seems that the rears are Bridgestone Potenzas in 245/45R16 - the original fitment standard size.
I couldn't see the front size, but they are also Potenzas.

Here's hoping Rob doesn't provide (more accurate) details that make me look stupid!

Rod IIRC Greg Brown has the Pirello Rossos in the correct sizes for the GT

Rob, quick move with that jump-post cap but you missed the shelf under the driver's side dash

The white truck makes for great reflections, was that the mobile-detailer's? Great job!

Yes, the tires are Bridgestone RE-11s, 225/50-16 and 245/45-16s. I bought them from Tire Rack in August of 2017 as I knew I needed a set of OE sized tires and they were still in stock at that point. Date stamp on them is the 5th week of 2017.

The white truck was the mobile pet detailer, so yeah, sorta. Berners are like black 928s, they stay clean post-wash for about 15 minutes.

The Bridgestones in question:

Those wheels are awesome Rob, as is the rest of the car.

I had a guy from AZ might be looking for a GT, I mentioned yours.
He already has a GTS that he had to pay to get fixed after he bought it,
now he wants a finished one with a stick
