That's not damage that's normal wear and tear.

I should send you a photo of my wheels and calipers so you feel better maybe.
That's fair enough but the tire shop and my dealer put the fear into me when they said it wasn't safe and initially could not get extended Porsche warranty because of this .
All that has now been turned around when it was further inspected and checked out ok.

Has anyone found a solution for this, any photos that you can share?


I have the same but how can a slight grove be unsafe or comprising?

Hahahaha yes I can verify. 911R stripes do not help with this issue.
