Is there any country in the world with race track smooth roads where these ultra low profile tyres are actually usable?
You would not be testing the cars handling in Singapore, urban roads only and strict enforcement. The Singaporean drivers go into Malaysia to race on the highways, just accept a few £50 speeding fines for driving at 250 kph in a 110 limit. Malaysian road surfaces are poor

But they didn’t weigh 1.5 tonnes.911's always been renowned for excellent all day long brakes, even when they had (good looking (preferably Fuchs)) 15" wheels.
