Sorry to do this, I have searched on here and couldn't find an answer:
Had an annoying puncture on the rear after only 900 miles of driving new car. Typical.
1) Kwik fit only have N0 rated tyres, and the ones on my car are N1s. I read somewhere online that its not recommended to mix. Is this true?
2) Kwik fit suggested they could change just the one tyre (only 900 miles on the clock) but I am concerned that taking it to Porsche will be a different story. They'll probably want to charge me 20 to 30 percent more and push for me to change both rear tyres. Is there a general guideline? 30% wear?
3) Does anyone know of any reputable tyre places in the Thames Valley / Reading area? My main concern is that they don't scratch the hell out of my wheels (which has happened before).
I will probably end up taking the car to Porsche for them to sort it and have the confidence that the wheels won't be damaged in the process.
THanks,
