Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Shame, though, as I saw a lovely yellow GT3 comfort for sale on PH 36K recently that fitted my spec nicely (not that there is much I need spec wise apart from wanting A/C, no sunroof and NOT buckets).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got new set of rears yesterday after 16,500 miles on the old set. They were Mich PS2's - is that normal life expectancy or a record? I was well impressed. Also, a thumbs up to Elite Tyres of Rainham, who had new ones in stock at 166.69 each incl VAT, balance & fit (255/40/17 PS2 N3's).

POST 3Original post

C for effort, you are not trying hard enough, see me after class!

POST 4Original post

Now to improve from 'C' are you expecting more or less mileage from a set of tyres ??

POST 5Original post

You need to ask? See me after class too! That's a remarkably high mileage for rears or even fronts

POST 6Original post

In my C2 I managed to get 35K from my fronts but go through a set of rears in about 9K Before I changed them the fronts were just down to the legal limit and 5 years old so to be honest I probably should have changed them sooner as I was getting quite a bit of under-steer when pushing on ;-). A new set all round improved things no end. (They all were 18" PS2 N1 now N3)

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Trying as hard as I can, sir, but I don't have a GT3 (yet)...

POST 8Original post

lol you still undecided between a 996 and a 997? If we meet up you can have a go in mine to help you decide.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes - still undecided between 996 GT3 or 997 C2 - thanks for the offer. [In an ideal world a 997 GT3 would be nice, though]. Its probably 6 months to a year away financially, but no harm thinking. Shame, though, as I saw a lovely yellow GT3 comfort for sale on PH 36K recently that fitted my spec nicely (not that there is much I need spec wise apart from wanting A/C, no sunroof and NOT buckets).

POST 10Original post

Can I still be on the originals? I bought the car at 9K mileage and still have the original Michelins, mileage is now 21K this includes 4 track days and 5 laps of the Nurgburgring![8D]
