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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I picked up this flyer at local dealer. I now know why there is so much confusion about tires, the company makes it that way. I put on 18" 225/40 and 265/35 tires. The flyer list 5 tires for the front and 2 tires for the rear. Does that mean only the the rear tires listed paired with the same front tires are approved even though there are sizes and N ratings for more than those 2 sets? Hell, I don't know. Something must of got lost in the translation. I went with the PS Rib N1 all around. The PS Rib is not on the approved list for the rear. Go figure.

POST 2Original post

You must have a 99-01 996. On your car, the rear size is 265. On 02+, the rear size is 285. 225 Front and 285 Rear will give you all 5 tire choices. Of those, S02 would be my choice with Pzero Rosso as my second choice. I just got a set of rear Rosso at a local tire shop. I think I'm going to order from Tire Rack next time and have my dealer install them. I don't trust tire shop any more. they put 33psi in my rears. Price wise is only about $50 difference.

POST 3Original post

I think it's a typo... no way they can recommend mixing and matching between brands...

POST 4Original post

The brochure is inaccurate. For example...The Continental ContiSportContact 2 (N2) does come in the 265/35R18. Also the Dunlop SP Sport 9090 (N0) comes in the 225/40R18 and the 265/35R18 sizes (which were the factory specs. for 99-01 996). Also the Michelin Pilot Sport Rib (N1) comes in the 225/40R18 and 265/35R18 sizes. The Pirelli PZero Rosso (N4) also comes in the correct sizes. None of which are listed on the brochure. In my experience Tire Rack has more accurate information with regard to what tires come in what sizes and what are N spec (if that is important to you) and what are not.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
