DIY seriously? Not on a Porsche though?
I like a bit of DIY as much as anyone, this is one I'll fix later, any advice?

As i'd done 12k miles, the rears were both on 4mm, and my OCD wouldn't have lived with one replacement tyre, so I sprung for the nearside one myself. I've kept that tyre and will probably ebay it.
I would keep it in case you have another puncture when your tyres are down near 4mm. That will then be a free replacement - or only the fitting cost.
Good idea!

No idea. Wife was driving, I wasn't there. Cue phone call " I think I've got a puncture, what shall I do ?"

Now wearing it's winter boots, got some RS Spyders with winters for a decent £1500 via ebay.
