Hi
I wonder if anyone can help and point me in the right direction?
My tyres are in need of replacing on my 996 c4
I had a quick phone around and internet search yesterday and I am struggling to find tyres.
Ideally, I was looking for a Michelin PS2 N rated but only rears are available, or Pirelli N rated but only fronts available, no matching sets.
My tyre sizes are
Fronts = 225/40/R18
Rear = 285/30/R18
The only matching pair I can get are Michilin PS4, but they are not N rated and the rears are only available in 275/35/R18, so ever so slightly narrower but with a 5mm higher sidewall, which may help ride comfort? They say developed by BMW, Mercedes & Porsche! And have correct speed/load rating and have a stiffer sidewall.
I have also noticed that all the Michelin PS2 N rated tyres are not a recent manufacture date!
My wheels are original fit Porsche BBS sports design as fitted on Gen1 & Gen 2 996. On the Gen 1 the tyres are 265 with the same wheel size, so I'm thinking 275mm wide should be fine?
Any info greatly received
Many Thanks
Paul
