My 2011 997.2 needs 4 new tyres (urgently on the back).
Spoke to Michelin UK yesterday, and they confirmed that PS2s are no longer available in my sizes (295/30/19 and 235/35/19).
There are still a few about in stock, but I do not want to fit them as should I need a replacement, finding another in a few months is unlikely.
Due to the withdrawal of PS2s, I asked my OPC if I could fit the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which are coming as standard on 991s (I have read that some new cars have been delivered with non n-rated PS4S tyres, I've seen a photo too)
OPC said "No", they said it must be n-rated. I still have Porsche warranty until the end of the month, and am considering if I should renew it for 12-24months. I am told that I can not renew if I use non n-rated tyres (which is plain stupid)
It is utter b0110cks that Porsche think they can force me to fit an inferior and obsolete tyre, just because they haven't tested new tyres in my sizes yet. I think you'll find Michelin know what they are doing, and if Michelin think its better than a PS2 and a PSS, then it is.
If anyone from Porsche is listening, get this mess sorted out. You need a full scale review of your N rated policy and get ahead of the curve, not way behind.
