Who do you run with and what group do you run in (intermediate, advanced, instructor)? Just curious since we both have cars with good chassis and I've never killed this type of tire the way you said you did. Hopefully I don't either. :)
Ok, looks like the general direction of this discussion changed away from "this guy's a moron" - much obliged
I run mostly with PCA-GGR (Porsche Club of America - Golden Gate Region), NCRC and sometimes with Coastal Driving, so we might already have met at an NCRC event
I hear good things about Golden Gate Lotus and plan to attend one of their events one of these days.
BTW: The good thing about running with PCA is that only Porsche drivers look down on your "not a real Porsche" Boxster, it hurts much more when it comes from Corvette and Infinity drivers
Depending on the organization I run with I am somewhere between Intermediate and Advanced.
About the 924/944, I know that most people think that a 914 or a Boxster are not real Porsches, for me REAL Porsches have a flat-4 or flat-6 located BEHIND the driver, which means that this rules out the 9x4 for me.
About the alignment: If the definition of a good alignment is that the car handles neutral and the tires wear evenly on the in/outside then I'd guess that all the money which went to Ken @ Sporttech for working on my alignment was well invested (the Dunlops chunked in the MIDDLE, not the outside), so yes, tire pressure comes to mind ... OR as I still don't stop to believe a faulty tire, but let's close the door on this part of the discussion for the time being, I already got enough of a beating from you guys in the last few days
