Absolutely. And you may have hit on something with the Fundit idea. :lol:

Interestingly I have tread measurements from September 18 and more from February just gone and in some cases the tread has grown! :shock:

There is no ‘centre diff’, only a transfer box. And Porsche make no recommendation for tread difference front to back, only for each axle, the manual giving a limit of 30%.

Sorry to hear about the damage Dandock.

So annoying and now takes up your time and inconvenient. Hope it all gets sorted.

Had to take this picture whilst in Rome
You would think having the smallest car you would get in and out of spaces. Even surround view cameras can’t get you out of this one 😂
This is perfectly normal occurrence there. 😮

Correct 👍 pairs not quads, try and press for four replacements and will be considered your taking the piss 🥴

Good find Nick. Thanks, I’ve just bookmarked it in Good To Know’. At 30% there’s no room for doubt. Two boots it must be.

Indeed. And with the manual quoting 30% it presents an unequivocal definition.

I hope that solution is quick and justice is swift.

Out of interest, was Tusk driving the Lupo and Barnier the Merc?
Or were they driving the UPS truck?

And that’s the last bit I’d want to upset.
