Porsche Tire Scrubbingby John Hamiltonphotos provided by Paul MoseleyHave you noticed that your Porsche’s front end makes a “chunk – chunk – chunk” noise especially now in colderweather? Especially while turning when backing up or going forward slowly. Happy to report: this is perfectly normalin a Porsche (whew!).Here are the causes:1. Cold tires. When tires are cold they are less-flexible and therefore more prone to make that noise as they try tonavigate a turn while driving slowly.2. Wide tires are more prone to the scrubbing effect. Since the inside and outside of the tires have a different radiuswhile turning, the tire tries to compromise by jumping to make up the difference.3. Under-inflated tires. While properly inflated tires will stillscrub when cold, they are less apt to scrub if inflated to theproper pressure.4. Front-end design. Porsche front steering is ingeniously designedto reduce the turning radius by not only turning the wheels, butby also angling the wheels as is done on farm tractors, roadmaintainers and road levelers. The benefit is a smaller turningradius at all times (not only when the tires are cold).That’s it! Now you know the answer to what’s been bothering you.And you don’t have to pay for getting anything “fixed” on you Porsche.Drive on!R E I M A G I N E D1321 COMMERCE STREET | 214.651.3615 | THEFRENCHROOM.COM16 February
