Okey Dokey,
Now if it's tire noise, go with Sumie's or Kumho, goood value and good tires. Have your alingment checked as well, Porsche recommends 2* toe OUT on the rears, go to nutral if you can.

I put Kanook on mine for under $800 four months ago. We got a $80 rebate on a credit card from them about 3 months afterwards. The cash topped the car up with gas a couple of times. The new tires made an amazing improvement on the road noise from the old worn ones.

Yes, rear tires wear fast. 10-12k on a set.
Inside edges wear fast. You may want to get adjustable toe control arms to get proper alignment.

I like the new michelin supervsports. Hear they last longer then pilotvsports. Put them on my rears and we'll see how long. Hoping at least 15k with no performance difference. Also 100 less per tire.

Talked to a Michelin Rep at Porsche Tech Tactics. He said all sizes should be available in July.

Inside of rears are worn but smooth - I see or feel no feathering or cupping. Front tires are pretty new and look fine. We are driving it as much as weather allows and will take it in for 60k service in a few weeks and have them check it but dealer says pretty much same as you guys.
I have been on some other lists but this has to be the best one. You guys are great!
Thanks. --Joe
