Seems like I'm asking a lot of questions here I know, but new to the ownership and just trying to find out a bit more from you folks with more experience of the KN than me....so bear with me please.
I read somewhere that the KN is prone to knocking out the outside edges of front tyres in 6K miles if the geometry is not set correctly making them illegal, but the rest of the tyre is fine, is this a common issue? I know in my impreza that geometry is a vital issue for good handling and used to have it set specifically, as the factory setting tollerence was + or- far too much. Does anyone know what the settings should be so I can have it checked by a specialist?
Thanks again.

] I've heard these rumours as well, had a similar experience with my previous Jeep, with the first set of tyres the front near side inner edge went at under 10k, however this never occurred again after I complained about the tracking which was checked ...... the dealer claimed it didn't need adjusting and that all 4X4's did this to their tyres (Yeh right) Generally managed about 30k a set. My Cayenne has managed almost 29k on it's first set of tyres, which I didn't think was too bad, especially for Pirelli Rosso's . When they finally needed doing it was the centre that was shot. There would appear to be a big difference depending on a whole range of factors, tyres, set up, driving conditions (mostly town / motorway) and driving style. Personal experience certainly doesn't suggest that a Cayenne eats it's boots.
