Hi All,
Apologies if this has been covered before, I've recently had two brand new P-Zero N0 front tyres fitted and have been advised by my OPC that they have worn quite unevenly in the space of around 300 miles (nearly 2mm of difference between the pair). I've called Pirelli's performance centre up (on the back of Porsche's recommendation) who fitted them (part of the cracked tyre saga) and they haven't been particularly helpful... basically either Porsche have measured tyre depths incorrectly or your alignment is out.
So... easiest thing to do is get the wheels aligned, however it doesn't feel like its out and 2mm of tread wear in 300 miles is pretty extreme so I'd like to think i'd notice it through the steering wheel! Pirelli's fitter said it could be that they didn't have a full 8mm of tread on them out of the mould... which seems a bit wishy washy given how many tyres they must produce to have such a large tolerance.
OPC want's to pull my arms off for an alignment, quoting around 3 hours labour.... tyre centre's tend to charge per adjustment...but will they set the car up correctly?
Any recommendations in West Kent?
