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.

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

POST 1Original post

Could be just porsche over-engineering the tyres like evrything else - i.e. to make sure they can cope with anything that could possibly happen to them, and then some. Then again, could be a much more serious reason.... That was really helpful wasn't it Not that I'm bored, waiting to sod off to the pub

POST 2Original post

FWIW I think it has to do with insurance. I can't put anything but N0 tyres on mine: if I don't my insurer won't help in case of an accident...

POST 3Original post

The N# designations are used on OE Porsche tyres. Typically Porsche will work with the manufacturer to fine tune an existing tyre to fit their requirements. The OE version is then called the N0. If the same tyre is later updated, or reengineered for a different model of Porsche it's then called an N1, then next time around is the N2 The N ratings also define a set of handling characteristics (e.g. steering response, rolling resistance, and behavior at very high speed.) It is also worth noting that for example an N rated Bridgestone 225 S02 is wider than a normal 245 S02 (yes I did type it right!) >> Edited by dmsims on Saturday 25th May 00:42

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, seriously, does this make any real difference? I remember a Porsche main dealer rekoning he could tell the difference just by driving the car for a mile (but he was a tosser all round so wasn't going to take that advise too much) I've found plenty of good brand tyres (ie: not 'Stunner' remoulds) for sensible prices but most aren't N rated. Do you pay a premium for this letter on the tyrewall for no reason or is it that important? IMO Porsches are obviously performance cars but most of them certainly aren't the 'highest' performance machines around and you don't see Ferrari or Lambos having their own tyre recognition. They just make do with good tyres. Views appreciated before I commit. Cheers
