Dang. I haven't seen one with that much disparity between the 911 wear zone and the rest of the tire.

You've barely used 10% of the available tire! lol

Yes, governance has ruined the roads.

Now, when I was in Montana a few weeks back, this was not an issue.

Yeah, I hear horror stories from the Canadians in another forum. Crazy stuff up there.. Montana's not as good as it used to be, the speed limit used to be "safe and prudent".. 😂 I remember as a kid driving with the parents thru western Kansas, it was safe and reasonable.. The good ole days..

Yeah, they have a 30k mile warranty, maybe I'll put a claim in with Michelin. 😂 I actually expected about 10K out of them so a little surprised. I think the previous P-Zero's did about that. Had it aligned with an aggressive camber at the dealer, assume that's probably killing the inner tread..

Ran into a state trooper in Blackfoot as he was fueling his charger, told me that they won't even look at me doing 10mph over, 90... The only place I can do that in Canada is the 200km from hope to Kamloops on the Coke... Even then, I can still get a ticket, but won't get arrested or the car impounded....

Second largest country in the world and only 200km to run at 150kmh


Ridiculous.

Rear toe kills the rear tires more than camber. Yeah, doesn't make sense. I pulled the rear toe to near zero (hey, I was commuting 50 some miles a day back then) and was getting 25K miles on the rears and near 40K on the fronts. Wouldn't do that for track use but other than some wander on grooved pavement there wasn't a major compromise on the street. The PS2s got 10 to 20% more miles than the MPS4S do.

I missed hearing the sound of my engine when I watched this interesting video of 991 Turbo sounds!

Friend of mine just sent me that video this morning as well.

Weird how so many different exhaust sound so different on these cars.
