With a directional tire, dismounting it and remounting it on the other side would change the inside to the outside and that would help with wear.

Completed my very first mod this morning - radiator guards. Was cleaning the area around the radiators and found a few rocks and a couple of screws. There's so much crap on the roads in FL. Not quite sure how well the center one will hold with just automotive 3M on the top and bottom. More concerned about the bottom since they're not really resting against anything, but I guess they'll do for now.
Does anyone have a cheap fix to clean up the front plate holes?

Can’t just fill it with epoxy because there’s still the bumps from the screws. Have to work on flattening them first. Maybe once I flatten them they won’t be so bad.
Anyone used a heat heat gun on those without damaging the paint?

I know Honda used to make plugs for theirs. IDK about Porsche but maybe they do too?
When it is time for a repaint, most body shops can fill smaller holes and damage like that.

Front Bumper holes
Try Bumper Plugs, that is the popular fix for this.

sandwedge, my rears were about the same at 9k- Except I hadn't lowered the car yet. I suspect that my toe settings were likely way off, resulting in the egregious inner tread block wear. Oh, I also don't rotate tires (which probably makes a difference), but I'm not sure if anyone else does either, since doing so requires a full dismount, etc. Would be interested in hearing from others if this is part of their routine!
I've since lowered, also on H&R and did an alignment at that time as well, requesting toe and camber settings that favor tire longevity. I'm hoping for the best.
