Just bought my First 911

It's a 1987 Carrera Targa with all the books and records, etc. I live in Florida and it's a local car, the good doctor who sold it to me just has not had the opportunity to drive it very often, since he bougth it a year ago. I'm going to impose upon this group as I'd like some recommendations as to tires, the Dunlops appear to be about 80% worn in the rear and a tad less in front. I'm a senior citizen, my first car was an MG-TC which my dad provided me in my Senior high school year, next was a 1952 TD Mk-ll which I raced several times. I owned the first Healey 100-4 sold in California and raced it in several SCCA events until I got my first XK-120 and move to C production. Since then it's pretty much been a series of Jags but now I've added the 911 to the stable. Confession: Last Porsche I drove (before test driving this 911) was a White 1955 Speedster that my then-girlfriend bought off the showroom floor in Sacraemento, CA, she paid around $3000, and when I drove it my knuckles were white every time I approached a curve. More later, thanks for any feedback and regards, Barry

It was 1955, the car had 72 miles on and that was the drive from the port of entry at San Fran.......
