If you blew the tire, that means there was no more air in it and it wouldn't take much for you to drive over a transition in the road that could bend your wheel.

Shaved tires
Andrew I think you hit the nail on the head. You mentioned 7,000 miles on the tires. At that point the tread depth should be reduced enough. At full depth the tires would be more squirrelly thereby generating increased heat.
Does Porsche used shaved Pirellis at their driving school?
I really want to attend their school at barber before I start pushing my new GTS around.

Don't know if they shave the P Zeros or the MPSC's on the GT3's at the PSDS/Barber MSP. Will check in Nov when there for the master's course. I bet that Tire Rack would shave P Zeros if requested. I know that on request they shave R compound tires and heat cycle them before shipping. Given that I will need a new set of tires, I may get P Zeros shaved.

agree
Not critical at Barber for the basic program. I also doubt that they shave MPSC tires on the GT3's or PZ's TTS's in the other programs. It's not racing, just DE.
