The new 911 GT3 runs on one-
piece, titanium-coloured, 19-inch
GT3 wheels. Taken directly from
motorsport is the new central
locking device with GT3 logo. The
advantages over a conventional
five-hole screwed fitting include
better driving dynamics and per-
formance thanks to fewer rotating
masses and, of course, faster
wheel changes. A huge advantage
– especially when racing.
The wheel dimensions are 8.5J x
19 with 235/35 ZR 19 tyres (front)
and 12J x 19 with 305/30 ZR 19
tyres (rear). Road-legal sport
tyres provide the necessary
grip, although the lower tread
profile presents a greater risk
of aquaplaning on wet roads.
The latest Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) system is provided as
standard. Through the display on
the on-board computer, the system
gives a warning before the tyre
pressure becomes too low in
the case of either a slow or very
sudden loss of pressure.
