  Yeah - they seem a little unconcerned about the osa impact….

  I have ps4s on my 997 but they aren’t n rated and are 19s

  I did have Goodyear eagle f1s (6 I think) on my Boxster which was on 18s and similar sizes I think - they were pretty good

  IIRC the spare tyre actually forms part of the crash structure - so you might not want to remove it

  Is it very dry / low humidity? Maybe try a bowl of water next to it to raise the local humidity?

  I have this https://ryobitools.com/products/details/33287178230 which I have used for unruly bottom brackets and lockrings - although purchased for car use

  I also have their basic impact driver - which came with a 3/8 adapter which I have on occasion combined with 3/8 Allen socket adapters.

  You do need to be careful/sensible with both but I have used them for fastening stuff - obviously you want to stop after the first impact or so and then actually torque with a torque wrench but it makes things like swapping centre lock rotors super quick and easy

  I think I might have a 3T arx stem that is labelled 130 but I think measures more like 140 and is -17
