The tyres fitted on the car have 6/7 millimetres of tread but due to their age (over 7 years old) have become very hard and noisy(SO2A front and SO2s on the rear).

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning guys After purchasing my 996 C4s Cabriolet approx 6 weeks ago I set aside money for the jobs that would need doing in the future. Apart from restoring the hood, leather and paintwork, I’ve replaced both front radiators, treated it to a new Milltek Cup System and led interior/ exterior bulbs. My next job is to have the alloys refurbished and new tyres all round and this is where I need your advice!!!!!!!!!!! The wheel refurb is a no brainer, as Wheeltec in Plymouth have restored all my other alloys to a very high standard. The tyres fitted on the car have 6/7 millimetres of tread but due to their age (over 7 years old) have become very hard and noisy(SO2A front and SO2s on the rear). The previous lady owner had only covered 2000 miles since replacing them in 2012 and they are starting to crack between the tread due to age. My R32 and S2000 both have Michelin Pilot 4s and they have transformed both cars. But as previously mentioned on here you can only get them for the fronts on my car, but all four in PS2 spec. My question is how much better are the PS4s and if so is there any other tyre that would do a better job?

POST 2Original post

Hi, Mine was treated to new tyres recently and I went for Continental Sport Contacts and find them really good. Supplied and fitted by my OPC too.. They too had loads of tread left but were old so definitely needed changing.

POST 3Original post

The last time all my tyres were replaced was in March 2016 with Pirelli Rosso N4s as these were the only tyres available at the time anywhere in the UK! I was looking for Michelin but the only all matching set was in Germany and 5 years old![ ] Eventually Cambridge OPC found the Pirelli ones for me direct from them. Its now time to replace the rear ones, the fronts are hardly worn, and again have been looking for Michelins, however there are none available in Australia anywhere the only ones would be Pirelli Rosso N4 at a price of $685 each (£396 ea) fitted etc. Bloody expensive! I have found a wholesaler who thinks he can get me the Michelins but will need a couple of months to obtain them as they are batch made regardless of make only occasionally. These will cost $500 (£289 ea). Hopefully he can get them or else it will have to be the Pirelli again[ ]

POST 4Original post

Michelin PS4S the way to go just fitted on my 991.1 S replaced Pirelli’s and SO much better

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They certainly are Dylan1, but unfortunately as I stated they don’t make them in 295/30 R18 size [ ]

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You have D911ARK, but we’re talking about the PS4 not being available. I am about to order PS2s all round for the car. How do you find them handling wise and are they quiet on the road??

POST 9Original post

Apologies, I misread the post, my bad I love them. Have posted on here before about how I prefer the quieter noise over Pirelli too Handling wise, don't feel I've ever taken a tyre to its limits to know much difference tbf Mark

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks D911ARK, Ive just ordered the PS2s N4 spec.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just to let you guys know that even though I’m in the motor trade I actually bought my tyres from a Supermarket?? i know, I didn’t believe it either. There being delivered to me tomorrow for £598 for all four. Over £60 less than I can buy them trade, unbelievable . I don’t need them fitted as Wheeltec are fitting them for me after they refurbish and powder coat my alloys. so a very happy boy. The price was for Michelin Pilot Sport 2s all round. Size 295/30 R18 rear and 225/40 R18 front. ??
