What's the typical tyre life on a Porsche Panamera?
I've a pal at the golf club who owns a new Porsche Panamera, but he is only getting about 3000 miles out of the front tyres. The tyres appear to be wearing out on the outer edge. He's been to the dealer and is getting nowhere.

A Panamera will have different sized tyres front and rear, and there will be a big variation in wheel and tyres sizes. I guess this guy is on something like 21-inch wheels with 35 or 30 profile tyres and they might have been a dealer fit without re-aligning and re-setting the steering angle sensor.
He needs a proper pitted laser alignment, and if there aren't any in the area, at the very leas an alignment on Hunter equipment by a branch of www.alignmycar.co.uk

A real feelgood super saloon. Stunning performance from most engines. Luxurious refinement but still great to drive. Practical with a large boot and masses of rear space.
