I've been using the Supercar 3 for a while. I like the way they feel and I get reasonably good use out of them. Recently I've been reading about the AD09, which also seems to be a good tire. However,...

That raises an interesting question. I'm in western PA and I've always had my inspections done by a guy at a local shop who techs for a Cayman race team. I'm sure he isn't "approved."

I no longer have my Cayman R but on the 718 GT4 all I needed was adjustable toe links in the rear. You can get the camber but you lose the toe.

Rear toe

I noticed my last two alignments everything stayed pretty close but passenger side rear toe slipped from about -0.2° to -0.14°. Is this anything to have checked?

Got it working! I just kept resetting it and driving around the block until it worked. Weird. Never had this problem before including my prior Porsche.
