Hi there: I'm Francisco from Portugal (Europe) and I wonder whats the difference between N0, N1, N2 and N4 Porsche approved tyres... As far as I can see only Pirelli has the N4 spec. Which one is best suited for a 2002 Carrera 2 where MAx performance is mandatory (I don't care about noise and all that stuff) only progressiveness at the limit and raw performance! Thans in advance Francisco P.S By the way EXCELLENT site you guys got here!

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.

From this month's European Car magazine (May 2005 Volume 36 No 5, page 74) "N Specification tires are fine-tuned tires designed by O.E. tire suppliers in conjuction with Porsche to meet its traction, noise, comfort and treadwear needs. Tires are rated from N0, which are mostly snow sport tires, to N5, the tires found on the GT2. The number on the N rating is the number of times a specific tire size from a particular tire manufacturer has gone thru the homologation process. N spec tires wear an N-spec badge on the sidewalls and are available thru Porsche's dealer network."
The higher the N number, the newer the tire compound is.
PTEC is correct on this one. FYI....N0 is NOT a winter tire is the first in the series for ALL tires. Here is a link for a good explanation on N spec tire ratings. They go in order by the way. For example, N3 is the next evolution after N2 for a specific tire. But N3 on one tire is no necessarily better than N2 on another. They get N-spec in order specific to the line. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...al/porsche.jsp
