There is nothing like the feel of a brand new set of tires... I wish I could put a new set on every four months. :dance:

In your case that would be a whole lot of sets of tires.

my 987S burns up a set of rears every six months.... thankfully, Michelin really does honor their limited treadwear warranty -- I pay about 1/3 of the replacement cost.

I was obviously looking to have someone point out what I already pointed out so I could learn nothing constructive.

This isn't my first sports car, but my first with RWD, and first Porsche. I don't know the first thing about how the alignment might be set up on this car, have only owned it for a few months, and have not yet had it to a track where I can safely explore its limits. The tires are getting done as soon as possible (not my daily driver) but I thought it couldn't hurt to present a question in case I might learn something new...
