I'd read it to mean that running NON- N rated tyres on a Porsche would mean fitting tyres not to the manufacturers specification...
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.

Question...
has anyone run NON N rated tyres on their 996?
is it really a scam that the tyres were homologated by porsche and that they could wreck the balance and handling?
I have conti Sports at moment but I have used Falken FK 451 and Toyo Proxes to great a plomb in the past.
would appreciate feedback on this.
I have been told non N rated will invalidate the warranty....which does not surprise me!!
cheers

I'd read it to mean that running NON- N rated tyres on a Porsche would mean fitting tyres not to the manufacturers specification... whether thats the same as not fit for purpose, which could possibly invalidate Insurance, let alone warranty...well thats another issue..

I have a 996 turbo and run the Brigestone, as I have just replaced the rears they were £165 each fitted (plus vat)which I didn't feel was too bad. The fronts are slightly less. They are N rated but I have had the p-zero's in the past which gave an anoying tyre rumble at 40 mph on some surfaces so I wouldn't get these. The brigestone give a ride that is so much quieter, smoother and softer (if you like that sort of thing). I certainly will get another set. They don't wear too badly either.
If you drive the car like a Micra - go ahead and play games with the tyres. If you drive it like a Porsche owner then you are really being damn silly for a few £££s. When the handling goes to hell on a wet corner at 120mph then you'll know the answer to your question.

when was the last time you were doing 120 mph on a wet corner??
maybe coming through bridge at silverstone but not on my local roads in twickenham!!
I have looked into this alot and going to stick with N rated tyres depsite the lack of choice.
will get some sprare rims with decent sports sticky tyres for track and fast road work
