I must admit I have spent so much time arguing the toss with Porsche about my RMS problem that I have just gone along with this and they will be putting two new tyres on this Friday (cost £455).

If you are changing all four go for Pirelli Rossos N4.
Wear sounds normal, but for road use would recomend a full four wheel alignment every two years, at least.
The Pirelli's are fine tyres, but I think you will find that the wear rates won't be as good as the Conti's.
If u r happy with the Conti's, why change?

Have had both pirelli & Conti's , slightly prefered the P's (as did autocars tyre test) but there isn't that much in it, so I'd go on price, agree with the micheldever pricing route, they will also deliver to your local dealer 7 supply trade.
With regards to having a full camber check, if the OPC feel wear rate is ok & the cars handling ok, I'd save your £200, the tyres have got to wear an awful lot quicker to cover the cost!!!

I never had to replace the fronts. After having the geometery checked I replaced the car after a further 3K on Conti's and going well.
Current TT has Pilots sports and my experiences are not so good, no lack of grip but they do generate alot of road noise including squealing on light bends and braking.. Conti's also gave alot less road noise.
Done 4.5K in the last 2 months and the tyres are looking fine at the moment.

Sounds like too much negative camber or maybe toe-out to me. I would get a 4-wheel alignment done.

PZERO ROSSO 265/35ZR18 N$
for312.00 FITTED the Pair
At F1 in Shrewsbury
Rencons the Tracking should be done with a full Tank of Petrol according to Porsche
Pirelli P Zero Rosso N4 265/35 18 are £134.20
285/30 18 are £154.79
These are delivered prices so you need to get a fitter to fit them, but I had my wheels refurbed at the same time so no charge to put the new ones on instead.
