I need to change my tyres and have had trouble finding any tyre shop to do it, since none of them have the correct Porsche tools.

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

I need to change my tyres and have had trouble finding any tyre shop to do it, since none of them have the correct Porsche tools. Yes, I can go to a OPC but they charge a lot more and then will only fit N rated tyres (I'm thinking of going to Michelin SS - as opposed to Cup tyres). So does anyone know how much these tools are, or anyone have one for sale? It might be useful to own one in any case. I didn't but the car new, so didn't have the option.
If you find yourself in the North West then ABP Motorsport, 10 minutes off Junction 16 of the M6, will look after you very well.
They have the centre lock tool and more importantly the knowledge and experience of the tool.
Ask for Chris, he can supply tyres competitively and fit them perfectly.

Yes got the socket but I believe it has to be properly set to 500n on the torque wrench.

The car comes with the centre lock socket as part of the tool kit. You just need a suitable torque wrench.
I was surprised how easy the wheels are to remove.

There are a few options around but ultimately it's just a 3/4 inch drive torque wrench that'll accommodate 600 plus Nm.
I initially bought a Teng but recently ordered a Stahwille.
I bought the Precision Instruments C4D600F36H combination torque wrench and breaker bar kit in from the States. Its fully collapsible so will fit in the front boot if required and goes well past the required 600NM torque setting. Comes complete with calibration certificate and is a cracking piece of kit. Think I paid $450 plus shipping.
More info on options here:

Once you've used it a few times its actually quite a simple process!
