Talking to my local garage(I want to give him a try and would think that he would treat my oem rims better than Costco !?!)he recommended a summer tire that is a size that is not listed in the Porsche manual. To me this is a minus. I want the exact measurement tires as listed in the Box manual. 2. He did not refuse to put a/s tires on my Box but recommended I get summer tires as I already have the winter tires.

I favor the idea of a/s to extend the fall driving season but putting on my snow tires when the snow becomes more of a problem. I think that I have to get assertive with my local indy garage.

One more thing. If there is equal wear on my summer tires then an alignment is not needed - am I correct in saying this?

Love the phone dials on the Box. Now you have me thinking for my Boxster. Here is a set on my shark.
