The car was aligned 30 days, 400 miles ago, by a top notch Porsche indy shop.

Check the torque on your lug nuts.

The shop uses a torque wrench on all the lug nuts, not a pneumatic impact wrench. This is a top notch Porsche shop, not Midas Muffler.

I don't care what shop puts the lug nuts on my car after a tire change, I always come home and loosen the lug nuts and torque them down myself.

You should always re-check the lugs/torque after +/-500 miles. Most manuals will note this for every make/model vehicles.

I have not done it that way, makes sense, but I come home loosen the lugs and torque them and take the car for a around a 30 to 45 min drive and check the torque when I get home.
I'll check them again as it's been around 500 miles since I got my summer tires put on.
