Outside wear on rear tires
tlh replied to rrspikemarty's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Read this a while ago. The tire wear does look pretty normal. However, I had a similar, but much more extreme wear pattern on my 2002 Targa (6 speed). 1st set of rear tires stock Michelin's lasted 12K miles. Replaced with Pirelli's which lasted 6K. (Ouch) Both with normal even wear. Went back to the Michelin's and noted extreme outside wear within 5K miles. Literally NO tread on outer 3", while inner tread barely worn. Almost exclusively freeway driving. Used as a commute car, minimal traffic. Multiple suggestions of tire pressure, etc. from dealers. Read your issue here and took mine in to get the camber/alignment done. They couldn't get the R wheel to toe in to specs. They then noticed a slight bend and crack in R rear wishbone suspension. Apparently this can happen with towing? Mine had never been towed. Anyway, now after the alignment 2K on the tires in similar driving conditions with no evidence of wear.
