Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
3 years of owners ship never had a problem with the Contis so when it was time to replace the rears I went for the same, good all round tyre at a reasonable price at the time.

Having run a total of 80,000 miles in total in my 4S over 6 years, I think I had a fair chance to run all of them.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just a quick question really if anyone has any opinion which brand are best and why? Michelin PS2, Bridgstone, Pirelli P Zero, Conti Contact Sport, and do you rate the N rated tyres approved by Porsche? Just looking round at the moment, as I need a set of 4! ouch! ;-(

POST 2Original post

I found Bridgstones to be a good tyre for the 4S. The Pirellis are far too noisey and the Michelins too difficult to get hold of and expensive. Having run a total of 80,000 miles in total in my 4S over 6 years, I think I had a fair chance to run all of them. Good luck

POST 3Original post

When I had my C4S it was on Conti Sports but it was new at the time. 3 years of owners ship never had a problem with the Contis so when it was time to replace the rears I went for the same, good all round tyre at a reasonable price at the time. Cliff. Ps there all round and black but do go for N Rated

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will give the Pilot Sports a go I think after reading reviews on the 911UK forum too. Apparenly the OPC offer a geometry set up as well, so will be interesting to see what difference that makes.

POST 5Original post

+1 for N2 Contis 14k miles on my 4S & still has 4-5mm on & that included a 'novice' track day at Blyton Park going to be doing 2.5k miles in Europe soon & will def opt for them again Event tyres always competetive & they come to you..... hth Paul

POST 6Original post

+1 for Event. They can fit a tyre better on my driveway than most people in a Garage can.
