The N rating refers to, I beleive, subtle chnages in tyre construction for tyres rated and tested for Porsches, that started with N0 and has now progressed to N3.
Leading evidence: 'Test porsches' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace rear pair alone' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules.

I'm getting ready to change the rears on my 930 - can someone explain the N rating thing and difference between N1 and N2?

The front's have just too much fat left to change yet

Suggestion
I've got the Contisport N2's, my fronts have done about 12,000 miles and have some life left in them yet, my first pair of rears lasted 7000 miles and my second set seem to be lasting longer.

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.

Go for the Conti-sport 2, as opposed to Standard Conti-sport. They are N rated and I have found them to be very good in wet and dry.
Got 8000 miles out of rears
I've got the Contisport N2's, my fronts have done about 12,000 miles and have some life left in them yet, my first pair of rears lasted 7000 miles and my second set seem to be lasting longer.
Mind you, my first set did about 150 miles around Imola race track too so i guess that may have shaved a little of their life off.

Rossos are amazing in the dry, reasonable in the wet (though no better than the Conti's IMHO) but they disappear FAST! I wrecked my Rosso rears in just under 5000 miles.
Saying they're amazing in the dry - i never lost grip on the public road with them, but i never have with the Conti's either... i did overheat my Rossos on a track right at the end of their life though and then they suddenly got very slippery indeed.
Remember though that i have the wide body tyre sizes and 4wd, though i'm not sure how much difference that would make.
285/30R18 rears.

Conti's are great but so are P Zero's which won the recent Autocar tyre test. Which ever you choose, get a price from Micheldever Tyres down south...a must for a price check.
Agree about Micheldever, that's where i get mine (50 miles from my house!).
Only thing i'd say about the autocar tyre test is that they test a relatively "normal" car (M3 if i remember right) and my wee beasty is anything but normal (err, 63% rear, 37% front weight distribution).
In each case you're also looking at N rated tyres, i.e. very different to the standard compound and tread pattern that you'd find on the M3. I've had both Pirellis and Contis on my car which is why i voiced the opinion.
If you're not doing that much mileage and/or you only ever drive the car on dry days then i'd go for the Zeros.
I've done 18,000 miles in 8 months, i notice the extra wet weather grip and longevity that the Contis provide.
All IMHO of course.
VS
Getting a pair of Conti 2's put on the back tomorrow for £350 from a local dealer. (only 3 miles)
The front's have just too much fat left to change yet
Been out this afternoon giving the P7000's their last rites
Now have to go and wash the 3,000,000 bugs off the front
I'm getting ready to change the rears on my 930 - can someone explain the N rating thing and difference between N1 and N2? Which should I have - they are N1's on there now.
Thinking of going for P Zero Rosso's - a good choice?
Thanks.

Rossos-good choice!
The N rating refers to, I beleive, subtle chnages in tyre construction for tyres rated and tested for Porsches, that started with N0 and has now progressed to N3.
The basic advice is not to mix difernt N ratings on a car, although Michelin will advize if you must do this.

Looked in the old postings and couldn't find an answer to this one so forgive me if I missed it
Is it ok to replace the rear pair alone?
I'm rapidly chewing through mine
(3000 miles since 1st Feb)
It currently has Pirelli P7000 all round and I was thinking of giving CONTI SPORT-CONTACT a go?
Any thoughts?
