give wide latitude to the mechanic. He can set your car up for max grip or even wear and still be in spec. Had both...made a world of difference when I had a guy who knew how to set up Porsches for racing and thus who understand the handling/wear influence of being at one side or the other of the limits set my car up. More than doubled my miles/tire. A set of rears half worn and even at 15k. Never found any downside in normal driving either.
