981 tyres, again - PS4 S?
Discussion
I have just put 2 years warranty on my 981 and now it is time to replace the tyres.
I have Pirelli Pzero's on currently and like a lot of people I hate them, in the wet the car suffers from snap understeer/oversteer and occasionally goes into four wheel skids. In the dry the limits are higher but the car still moves around in an unpredictable manner.
From past experience Goodyear Asymmetric 2 seem like the best N tyre replacement but these are still outdated and considered old.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S seem to be the ones to go for, again on past experience I have no doubt that these are incredible tyres but it's the whole N rated issue.
What if I want to sell my car before the tyres are expired? Will private buyers run a mile? Will dealers accept a part-ex or will I be stung?
Perhaps I should take my Pirelli's off with 2mm and store them, then when I sell the car or renew the warranty in 2 years time I just put the old tyres back on for £10 a corner?
Or are the Asymmetric 2's good enough and I should just stick with them?

Sorry to hijack the thread but after some Boxster 981 advice and have no idea how to start a new forum.
Looking to buy a used 981 S and debating on whether to buy a car with no sat nav / phone prep but has sports exhaust, sport and sport plus modes and PASM or hold out and get one that has Sat Nav / phone prep maybe at the expense of one of the other options - any thoughts or recommendations?
Also anyone got strong opinions on manual vs PDK with paddle shift.
Thanks

For resale I'd suggest getting a car with nav and phone but in real life you can just use Waze and a Bluetooth receiver for the phone. Personally I'd take sports exhaust/chrono/PASM over sat nav and phone. Is this a daily or weekender?Looking to buy a used 981 S and debating on whether to buy a car with no sat nav / phone prep but has sports exhaust, sport and sport plus modes and PASM or hold out and get one that has Sat Nav / phone prep maybe at the expense of one of the other options - any thoughts or recommendations?
