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

If anyone is looking for Michelin's at a good price, Costco have got the best prices by far, in the North West at least. Have just had a set from their Manchester store - no complaints at all. Excellent price and cheaper than a set of Pirelli's!! :lol:

POST 2Original post

How much did you pay? Best price I can get at the moment (in this area anyway) is £770 fitted. Do Costco fit them or just sell them? Thanks

POST 3Original post

they fit them...........seemingly Costco are the cheapest supplier and fitter of Michelins in the UK

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

excellent deal - £656 all in. £133.23 each for the front 225 x 40 x 18 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 N1 £194.92 each for the rears 265 x 35 x 18 All fitted and balanced properly.

POST 5Original post

Mine are the same on the front but 285 / 30 / 18 on the rear - do they vary according to model - mine is an 02 Targa?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Possibly. I'm sure one of the guys on here would know. Mine's an 00 C4 Cab, with yours being the facelift maybe they changed the tyres.

POST 7Original post

Another tip top tip: Buy your tyres from Costco when they have 25% off a set of 4. Even if you do not need the tyres at the exact moment in time they will take payment but then supply the tyres when you actually need them - awesome. For the record I bought a set of 4 Pilot Sport N1s, 225/40/18 & 285/30/18 for £569 all in.

POST 8Original post

285 is correct for the 02 models. A lot of the 265s I have seen have been the boxster wheels that fit on the Carrera perfectly.

POST 9Original post

Costco are fantastic for michelin tyres (thats all they sell) Guys are very knowledgable and been on all the courses etc.I heard from the manager there that it is recommended the following for the 18" wheels on the 996. With 225s' on the front should be 265s' on the rear, and 235s' on the front should be 285s' on the rear. Dont know how correct this is though.

POST 10Original post

It disagrees with Porsche's recommendation of 225/285 for 18" wheels

POST 11Original post

Probably a little misinformed. If fitting Pilot Sport 2s on a Porsche you can only get N-rated in 235.

POST 12Original post

I've just got back from Elite in Rainham (essex) with 2 new Pzero's 265/35 for £328 fitted and balanced including VAT. I was pretty pleased with that, although it's now taken the weeks spending on the car past £1600. But it drives like a dream and I feel it's money well spent. (My wife thinks it just money spent!)

POST 13Original post

I got a set of Michelins the other week - then straight in for Geo at an OPC - has made the world of difference. (And hoping the inside edges of the fronts aren't going to wear quite so badly this time). Just a shame its rained ever since!

POST 14Original post

Ok take out the guys are really knowledgable bit then lol But was still a good deal

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does this mean the 265's are wrong in some way or inappropriate for the car?
