Or you guys could just, you know, drive your cars on a regular basis.

You have little ones running around the house. I think you know what is like to not to be able just go out for a drive. Don't tell me, your 930 is your daily driver.

It is for IRS purposes.

(Just a little joke, Mr. Tax Man. I'm claiming the Honda this April 15th.)

New tires are squishy. Give them a week.

I didn't notice anyone asking the question: Are the new tires the same spec as those on the other end of the car?

Sounds perfectly normal to me at least for some tires. I've had several sets of new high performance tires that felt very squirrely initially. It usually clears up in 50-100 miles. I have not noticed this on Bridgestone RE-11.
