As it's not possible to get matching Continentals to replace the rears I think I have to bite the bullet and change all 4.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just refreshed my front suspension and thought I'd check the tyres, as clearly I hadn't spent enough money I have Contisport Contact 3 on the rear (255/40 R17) and Contisport Contact 5 on the front (205/50 R17). Tread is fine, but the rear tyres are 10 years old and have slight wear on the inner edge so I should really change them. As it's not possible to get matching Continentals to replace the rears I think I have to bite the bullet and change all 4. As we all know, these are not easy sizes to find as a set! Nearest I can find is Michelin PS4 for the front, and PS5 for the rear but 245/40 size. Camskill give me all 4 for around £500 which seems OK. Anything I'm making a massive mistake on here??

POST 2Original post

I think 245/40 is a bit skinny for me, what about moving up to 18 inch wheels have you considered that?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 2825116

it's only 10mm skinnier to be fair. I really like my 17 Carrera twists anyway - just had them refurbished and powder coated!

POST 4Original post

Oh ok ,i was thinking of 275/265 on 18's , what about other brands? Yokohama do a 255 x40 x17 Z R advanced sport tyre, very close to pilot sport tread have a look on ebay at them.

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 2825133

I think 10mm on the rear of a 911 will noticeably worsen handling and ride quality

POST 6Original post

I’d rather go with something like nexen tyres in the correct sizes than change size. A few matching options on camskill in Khumho, Nexen brands etc.

POST 7Original post

How about some Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6? I believe they’re available in the required sizes, they’re good value and score well in most scores

POST 8Original post

Pirelli have the correct sizes in their P Zero Rosso tyres. Just bought a set via Porsche Reading and am very pleased with them.

POST 9Original post

Save your money, stick some falkens on and get as wide as your rims will take on the rear.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So having done lots of searching, I can get the correct sizes for rear (255/40) with 225/45 on front in Michelin PS5, Continental Ultra Contact or Falken Azenis. I'm tempetd by the Falkens as suggested by Alex for the amount of driving I do (with 1 track day per year at most)

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

.. and total cost of tyres is under £400, with fitting at my favourite garage around the corner. Win.

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 2825171

I've got these on my 996.1 on my 18s but I don't think they are available in 17"?

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 2825756

They're not, no. I'm going for Falken Azenis at £390 for all 4!

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

.. or I would do if Protyre actually had the ones they say they do on their website :-(

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Managed to get them from eBay / Demon Tweeks for £380 total including delivery! Local garage will fit and do the alignment so I am very pleased
