Today the TPMS alerted me to a flat and indeed ther was a huge screw on the Right rear tire. I was able to fill the tire with air at a gas station and drive home. I will replace the tire as Porsche reccomends but do you guys think that I need to replace the other one also since I already have 1100 mi on them. Would a new tire combined with one having 1100 miles on it create an imbalance?
After 1100 miles of break in, I checked my oil following the procedure in the manual and it showed the level as low with no bars showing. I added 1/2 quart and now it shows that its one bar past full. I tried it several times with the same result. If this reading is accurate could this be harmfull fo the engine?

some say overfilling is bad, but IMO if you are just one bar over, dont worry about it too much. but dont do it again.
1100 miles, i would just replace one tire. you wont feel much inbalance, assuming the car is not tracked much.
