I got less than 5000 miles out of a pair of hankook ventus v12 evo tires. I had replaced cv boots on both axles and did not get an alignment done. I've got new tires now and a 4 wheel alignment done. I asked for an alignment for the least amount of tire wear. Rear toe was way off which was what was making me eat tires. Now it's set for almost no toes and minimal camber . Hoping to get close to 20,000 miles out of this set of tires.
Car definitely feels different now. A bit floaty or twitchy at highway speeds but getting used to it.
I was impressed w the tech. He seemed to ask good questions about how I drive I never considered crown in the road to be a factor but set the car up for a left lane driver and minimal crown in the road.

Interesting. I've never felt the Boxster to be floaty at any speed. On a straight, level road, I can take my hands off the wheel and it just tracks straight.
If you set it up for left lane driving, I guess that means you drive mostly on the Expressway and 401. I would have thought that you'd do more of your driving on 2 lane roads, considering where you live.
The alignment in the rear is a bit tricky. grant - Saturday, 22 September, 2012, at 8:43:18 am |
