With that tire replaced my reading is that an alignment should be the corrective action needed to prevent the premature wear.

In the shop they normally set the rear pressure to 40-42 psi for most driving conditions with no ill effect to drivability or premature/uneven tire wear.

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

So I've read most of the posts about excessive/premature tire wear, especially those focused on the inside of the rear tires, which is my concern. There is about 7K miles on these new Bridgestones and the inside RR tire is worn out and will not pass state inspection. With that tire replaced my reading is that an alignment should be the corrective action needed to prevent the premature wear. What say you? /X3

POST 2Original post

It is obvious that you need an alignment. With more neutral settings you can get 20,000+miles out of a set of rear tires.

POST 5Original post

I have 15,000 miles on my tires and still have lots of life left. He�s the alignment I�m running on my stock 99 996

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any recommendations/changes to rear tire pressure, especially the specified 44 psi for the rears? /X3

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 16927202

Yes I saw this graphic in a previous post. Would it be valid for 2004 MK-2 996? /X3

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 16927398

I run the factory pressure in the rears. When I go higher, even only a couple PSI, I lose traction and the car slides around a bit too much. When I go lower, the ride gets better (softer), but I still have good traction. However, it�s important to keep an eye on the tire wear pattern to make sure you aren�t wearing the tire unevenly. Many will swear by lower pressures in the rear, so if you can get away with it, go for it. Note: at very high speeds, be cautious about running a lower pressure spec. I�m not 100% sure, but high speed (Autobahn) May require higher pressure to keep the tire intact and to keep from coming apart (dangerous).

POST 10Original post

I go on the higher side but I live in the land of smooth roads. 34 psi front, 44 psi rear. Properly aligned and no tire wear abnormalities.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Spoke to local Porsche service manager, said the 44 psi rear is for max. load. In the shop they normally set the rear pressure to 40-42 psi for most driving conditions with no ill effect to drivability or premature/uneven tire wear. /X3

I concur with PSM. I enjoy doing most of my own wrenching. But I am familiar with my local Porsche dealer. They are very helpful. Sounds like yours is as well.

C4S 34#F 40#R. No wear problems and still have all the fillings in my teeth!

POST 14Original post

Yup I'm running a single # off of what is printed as the max on the side of my Bridgestone PP 01's 35/45. (Again I run 34/44 if you have short memory.) I also didn't mention that our temperatures in the desert swing wildly and pressures can drop dramatically in short time. I tend to run my tires near max on all my cars to give me a cushion of inattentiveness. Also again our roads are smooth as glass so roughness is rarely a factor.
