John, you won't really want to return to the coupe now you have got this 911 would you ? All the time and effort getting the coupe to run properly, endless sweat and tears etc.

very nice looking 997! Go easy on the RR in the beginning, they do behave very differently to the FF Coupe on the limit.

I still love my Coupe. I enjoyed working on it, it wasn't just a car it was my hobby.
The Coupe is old though and the handling is a decade behind the Porsche.

305mm N series tyre, heehee.......wait until replacement time, even just the thought of getting quotation HURT!
By the way, in my case the center worn out much faster than the edge, so don't trust the side wear indicator, check the rubber center for signs of wear. It almost cost me a BIG one during a spirited drive.

Yes, Porsche approved N rated Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
The rears are $598 each from tirerack.com.
I've heard the rears last about 10,000 miles and the fronts about double that.
I know I didn't buy it for fuel economy but the best I've got out of her so far is 14mpg. Most of the time it's 10 - 12 mpg. I fill up the 17 gallon tank and it then informs me my new range is typically between 185 and 220 miles!

You must be quoting US gallon, right? Otherwise it sounds excessive.
10,000 mile sounds about right. My rear set S-03 N series lasted around 25,000km and the center pattern has almost worn out, while the outer edge was still looking okay, I didn't realise that and it caught me with my pants down! The tyre shop told me it is a common issue for Porsche.
