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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, it's time to replace the tyres on my '02 C4S. I'm keen to get back to Michelin Pilot Sport's (or PS2 nowadays I guess), which I had on a previous Porker - I hate the "whine" from the Pirelli's. However, it looks like there isn't the "right" size combination of Pilot Sports to get the same N rating - it's either 225/40 & 285/30 N1 or 235/40 & 295/30 N2 - i.e. there isn't a 225-295 option on the same N rating. So, the question is - has anyone fitted 235's on the front of a C4S - any issues? Thanks pete S

POST 2Original post

I have 225/40ZR18 N1's on the front and 285/30ZR18 N1's on the rear (Michelin PS2). Where are you looking for it to say there isn't a matching 295/30ZR18 N1 ? Paul

Hi Paul On the Michelin website http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/auto/auto_TS_resultDim.jsp?tyreSelectorType=tyre&saisonTire=S&selectLargeur=295&selectHB=30&selectSeat=18&selectIC=no_selection N1 for the 225's, but N2 for the 295's

POST 4Original post

I had a quick look on www.mytyres.co.uk and they seem to have Pilot Sport N1's in both 225/40 and 295/30 sizes.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Weird - the Michelin site doesn't list that .... http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/auto/auto_TS_resultDim.jsp?tyreSelectorType=tyre&saisonTire=S&selectLargeur=295&selectHB=30&selectSeat=18&selectIC=no_selection Only lists an N2. I'll give Bracknell tyres a call tomorrow and see what they have to say. I'd rather stick with the stock sizes if possible.

POST 6Original post

Also try Event Tyres (see FAQ/Suppliers page). They seem to be competitive, and they come to you! (They are based at Remenham, Henley). It's such a pain at Bracknell getting through the queue.

I used Event Tyres, http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/, and they were very competitive and efficient...[ ]
