  1. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    Officially only front toe adjustable: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problem-potential-catastrophic-tire-failure.16788/post-488060 Magnitude of front camber is a factor of how it all bolts up (and Porsche show they got this wrong in the early days and had to introduce slotted...
  2. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I don't have RWS. I do have the problem. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problem-potential-catastrophic-tire-failure.16788/post-493354
  3. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    Surely can't be camber - here's a (badly set up) tyre (with wear indicative of positive camber) that also exhibits the excessive inner should wear.
  4. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I don't believe Claude as: 1) I don't have RWS on my GTS (but the tyres that just came off tell me there is something very wrong) 2) The air suspension does not 'constantly' adjust height - only when going through set points etc. I don't see how this is any worse than normal bump/roll camber...
  5. Tyres – never had this issue before on any car …

    If it was Peter you spoke to then I think you mean Goodyear ;) Regardless, I don't think excessive camber caused your issue -see: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problem-potential-catastrophic-tire-failure.16788/post-493260
  6. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I had both rear tyres replaced today and wonder if my findings show excessive tyre shoulder wear is not due to camber settings? To explain: Both (original) tyres were well worn (to legal limit-ish) having done now ~16,000miles. The wear was 'relatively even' but not perfectly even: - the left...
  7. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I You can't officially adjust the front camber (though it must be set/regulated from the factory by virtue of the bolt positions) - only balance it out from left to right: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/geometry-done-at-center-gravity.28453/post-427940 Porsche claim to have resolved...
  8. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    GTS has larger (390mm) front discs (but the same calipers) I believe.
  9. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    The TSBs are specific to either J1.1 or J1.2 (as you rightly point out). Please don't misinterpret that the J1.2 pressures are approved for J1.1 cars. I am merely observing that J1.2 started out with pressures identical to J1.1 (all three TBSs 16/9/24, 8/11/24, 3/12/24) indicating that there...
  10. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    Assuming we're talking 5-seater saloon on summer tyre, Turbo/turbo S has been: 2.8 (half-load) 2.9/3.1 (loaded) On GTS the TSB have always been: 2.6/2.7 (half-load) 2.8/3.1 (full load) (@SoccerMan94043 I have no idea what's up with your door sticker, doesn't match TSBs!) similarly 4S has...
  11. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I can only imagine the sidewall flex/compression under load is causing this wear - and Porsche’s attempts to increase pressure is an easy lever to reduce sidewall flex (at the cost of comfort and possibly grip). is anyone able to mount a GoPro or similar under the car pointing at the inner tyre...
  12. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    Please note matrix headlights are notoriously hard to certify in the US, so even if you could turn them on, you'd be running completely illegally; https://chatgpt.com/share/693888d4-2f6c-800d-9a60-1a63e5bf29c6
  13. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    UK DVSA have basically said they don't give a crap:
  14. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    According to TSB NHTSA 10187852 (15/2/2021) Porsche said "there are no adjustment options" - not sure if the unofficial way does each side independently or not.
  15. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    Great link, doing some digging and there seems to be a string of TSBs on tyres: J1.1 25/2/19 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10172034-0001.pdf 18/3/20 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10173044-0001.pdf 29/6/20 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176857-0001.pdf...
  16. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    What I can't understand is what driving condition leads to wear of the tyre shoulder (over and above the main tread)? I thought 'progressive' driving typically affected outer (not inner) shoulders. Low tyre pressures would surely get both shoulders (and I keep my pressures slightly above...
  17. Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    I thought I was on top of mine, but I just checked today (happened to be parked at full lock) and found: Fr R: Tyre shoulder worn to cord in placed however only on shoulder - main tread worn evenly and measures a good 4mm all over (original tyre after car done 15,000miles). Not easily...
  18. Cyber Monday Surprise: Test the CES-Nominated F17 Elite Dashcam for Free!

    This looks awesome! I've been looking for a suitable dashcam and this could certianly be it due to 4k front footage, front/rear/interior coverage, night capability, HDR, parking surveillance and WiFi offload. I would love to test this and agree to the terms (and to post a review within 2 weeks...
  19. FS - RS 21" Spyder GTS wheels (black) with tyres UK

    Great stuff, looks like a nice pair of wheels. Thanks for info!
  20. FS - RS 21" Spyder GTS wheels (black) with tyres UK

    I'm intrigued - were Porsche ok with you having NF1 on all 4 corners (as opposed to NF0)? What's the reason for selling?
