Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

What's even more odd is that they were fitted by Porsche as OE on the Turbo!

I 've been running the pirelli's on my 996 turbo and have found them a lot better than the michelins on my previous one, especially at a wet oulton park track day!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

https://www.porscheclubgb.com/legacy/clientftp/Register/996/faq_tyres_porsche_feb_2011.pdf Just looking at the approved tyre list and wondered why the Bridgestone S-02A N3 tyres would be approved in 285/30/ZR18 rear and 225/40/zr 18 front but not in the 996 Turbo 295/30/ZR18 size or indeed the the same 225 front size, I've got them fitted to my car and have been happy with the handling but it had me wondering?

POST 2Original post

What's even more odd is that they were fitted by Porsche as OE on the Turbo! They were the original fitment on mine (although I bought it second hand) and I've continued to run them - good mileage and great in the wet (MUCH better than the Michelin on a friend's 996 C4S).

POST 3Original post

I think they must have been omitted from the list by mistake. AFAIK, the 295/30/18 is only fitted to the C4S and Turbo, so if they are making an N-rated tyre in that size, what else could it be for? Edit: they dont make a 235 for the front of the GT3, so it can't be for that.
