Porsche 'N' Rated Tyres Explained and Options

There are people running non-N rated, some run N rated.


I will make a decision nearer the time. I am currently on 'N2' Michelin. Every other car has had Michelin Pilot Sport/Pilot Sport 2/Pilot Sport 3.



The ones I'm looking at are N rated (shop description didn't say), I just rang to check :)

Non N rated tyres won't invalidate your Insurance.

This is great news. exactly what ive been looking for. Ive had my 911 for a week now and the previous owner or garage put two new tyres on it, one front and one rear, both budget Falkens! So all 4 tyres are different im buying 4 new Vred Sessantas as ive used and loved these before.

Not N rated, and not being an Insurance issue is spot on :)
 
The wife had a new 2004 Cayenne Turbo w/ the 20" wheels.

The vehicle was burning through ~$2K of N rated tires every ~10K miles for corner supermarket runs.

After doing that several times I swapped to non N rated tires. They had lower cost and about 4X the tread life.

Very certain I killed the race track performance by swapping to these tires, but I was satisfied making that compromise.
 
The Taycan has "Elec" versions. I recently put a new set of Pirelli on as per it left the factory with as I've been super impressed with them both handling the power and in the wet with 4WD. I believe the ELEC versions have a foam insert to help with tyre noise. I was also pleasently surprised with the cost <£1200 for a set of 21's fitted by kwick Fit.
