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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Can anyone tell me whether they have had their rear tyres wearing out at 2500 miles. I'm now on my 3rd set of 265/35/18 Pzero's in 7 months. Its a '99 3.4 C2. I do not wheel spin it, but I do drive it hard. Been back to local OPC three times now and they have come up with nothing accept big bills! They did a 4 wheel alignment test costing £220 and the car came back with the steering wheel set at 35 degrees (not happy). They since put that right but the rear of the car still wants to jump a tiny bit to the left when I hit a pot hole or similar. Just feels weird.

POST 2Original post

I had a TT that ate tyres at 2500miles and at a push 3000miles. I had the geometry checked a few times and nothing was any better, when I had the last set of tyres fitted they Laser aligned it and described it as extreme [&:] In the end I actually bought a new car and traded that one in, I have now have done over 6500 miles on a set of rears..putting me £600 up[ ] (OK it cost me a new car) garyw

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am just on 11,000 miles on the same set of rear tyres and there is plenty of meat left on them yet. In fact they look just worn in and the tread is even across the tyres. But I use non Porsche approved 19" Goodyear Eagle F1 GS/D3s. Prior to this I had 18" Pzeros and they lasted about 7000 miles.

POST 4Original post

We had to change ours after 6500 miles - also drive hard, unable to wheel spin down to PSM

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

tyreos Have u thought about having the car jigged to make sure any structural repairs were done properly? Some Porsches that have been in accidents are not repaired by official Porsche specialists ( 23 in the country ). They are the only people to have Porsche Jig brackets. These are tested yearly by Porsche engineers at each of the specialists. The car can be fixed by a universal jig or measuring device however they are only as accurate as the operator uses them and how well set up they are. If you continue to have tyre wear after the suspension changes you may need to consider getting the car jigged properly at a specialist. Sorry for this news.... [ ]
