Smile wheel alignment

it's always a good idea to have an alignment done once you replace tires on our cars especially on a Boxster. We all are aware of the negative camber set-up so we all can expect much more wear on the inside.
in my case, just replaced my tires and noticed that there was more wear on the inner side on the driver side..
brought the car in at my buddies shop and hooked it up on the alignment lift and followed the manufacturer's specs... back was right on.. only slight adjustments on the front wheels....
With those new Michelin PS2's balanced and freshly aligned.. can't get any better!

Texomawaves, you wrote you expected "some" extra wear on the insides of your rear tires.

I expect a LOT of wear on the insides of my rear tires... and now you should too

What tire brand and type did you finally settle on, by the way?

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, and a much much smoother ride than the Pirelli PZeros I had.
