down here. The garage floors are much cooler than the roads so when you park a car driven on hot roads onto a cold concrete floor you get a temp flat spot in the nylon tire caps that the temp difference accentuates. The weird thing is my CLK500 with Pilot Sports, not PS2's never had this problem. As I've written above I did buy the Tire Cradles and they seem to help but I won't say for sure until I go for the 1000 mile service and have the tires put on the Hunter GSP9700. How do you like your TT, I've owned so many 911's and 911 turbos over the years I could probably write a book

I love it. This is my second (the first was a C4). I'm seriously considering on trading the turbo in and move into the 997T. The evolution of the car is coming along nicely, but I think it's near the end for the 911 (design/engineering wise).

Anyway try looking at Toyo (they are sticky and taught - they don't feel or look cheap) and they have a 30 day "try it" period on offer right now.
good luck.
