RR tire wear and alignment settings
Seem to have more wear on RR vs LR tire. Is this normal or is there an alignment issue? Also, what are optimal settings for M030 ROW suspension with 18" wheels for regular daily driver? I installed the full ROW kit about 3 years ago. Probably over due for alignment anyways. TIA.

Probably normal as mine always wear out first on the right rear. I have thought it is due to road crowning to shed water with right side towards the shoulder being lower.
For what it is worth, I was tired of only getting 8000 miles on the rears before needing new ones. As I do not track the car, I had the last alignment reduce the camber. I was able to get about 18,000 after the change.

Get the alignment checked. My '02 cab sees very similar wear rates and patterns on both rear tires. Having one side wear differently than the other is unusual in my experience.
As for alignment specs, I run the M030 RoW suspension and had my shop set the rear camber to the least negative (i.e. closest to 0 degrees) value recommended by Porsche. Note that the recommendations for the M030 RoW differ from the standard suspension settings, be sure your shop uses the correct values. With summer max performance tires I comfortably get 12K out of a set of rears, twice that out of a set of fronts.
