Read evidence and context

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 report identifying a cause: 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.

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

Does anyone have some alignment specs for optimizing tire life on a c2? It's lowered on coil overs. I only drive the car in town and on the highway, never track or drive aggressively - so I want to avoid an aggressive camber, etc. Any advice or specifications to bring to the shop for my alignment would be greatly appreciated!

POST 2Original post

I'm not an expert on alignment. But I am a mechanical engineer. When you put negative camber on the front tires (to combat understeer) you will unavoidably create extra wear on the inside of the tire. In owning 8 (all used) 911s over the years, I've found no matter what/how the camber/caster is set up, I only get 1/2 the wear out of a set of rears than the fronts. I'd say I've averaged about 18k on the rears, and mid'30's on the fronts. If you habitually "step on it" moving away from full stops, you can reduce the rears to about 10k miles.

POST 3Original post

Usually the culprit is too much toe-in for the rear tires. That eats up the inner part of the tire.
