Just bought a certified Porsche 996 7 days ago. OK...I get up and go in the garage and BAM...VERY low rear tire. Break out the fix a flat stuff, and fill it with air at the nearest gas station, then go to the tire store and low and behold 2 nails in it. Tires are P Zero Rosso's. The tire shop says, hmm, we are not supposed to fix a tire with that much wear on it, but I will, but can't gurantee it. I looked at all the other tires and, they were all good, except this one. He says I have maybe 2 months left on this tire....So my question is in Porsche's 100+ point inspection, wouldn't tires be one of them? Can a dealer sell a car with bald tires? I thought that Porsche's certification says there has to be a certain amount left on the tires, brakes, clutch, etc...before being certified...Anyone know?

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.

Outcome without a verified action link
When I took my car in for its 24,000 mile service (ages ago when it was under warranty) the service report said that I had a nail in the tyre and that I had to get it fixed else the warranty was void.

Yes, there are certain standards for the certification process. Here's the part about the tires: - Tread depth at least 4 mm (0.16") - Free from damage, washouts and irregular weathering and wear and tear - Free from visible and unauthorized repairs - Officially approved general certification - Not older than 6 years (standard tires) - Not older than 4 years (winter tires)
When I took my car in for its 24,000 mile service (ages ago when it was under warranty) the service report said that I had a nail in the tyre and that I had to get it fixed else the warranty was void. Sounds like a trip back to the dealer to me.
