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.

I have used these guys a few times and for a very wide variety of tyres and I found them always the cheapest and with a very good service where ever you want hem.

The OPC said Contis are no longer N rated or recommended for Porkers and wanted to sell me brands they had in stock for all my limbs.

Does anyone know why OPC said they are no longer recommended for Porsches or was it just a generalisation that Contis are now not N rated for 19 inch sizes.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I understand there are some supply problems with N rated tyres. The OPC said Contis are no longer N rated or recommended for Porkers and wanted to sell me brands they had in stock for all my limbs. Called around and got Conti SportContact2s for £120(f) and £140(r) each all in. They were made in March '08 too. Does anyone know why OPC said they are no longer recommended for Porsches or was it just a generalisation that Contis are now not N rated for 19 inch sizes.

POST 2Original post

140 for rears? thats well cheap !!! are these for 19's though? 18's are about 177 best price.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sorry, mine are 17s hence the price... does anyone know why OPC say the Contis are no longer Porsche approved (even for my 996 on 17s)... i think some of it is ignorance on the parts desk part...

POST 5Original post

They probably said that because they didn't have any in stock.

POST 6Original post

I needed to fit a pair of Conti 285 X 18 a few weeks ago and had a real problem tracking down any in stock. Bracknell Tyre who I normally use could not get any ! Finally got them from Protyre in Slough .

POST 7Original post

Got 2 x Conti Sport 2 N2 for £165.17 each (incl. balance, etc. of course) from ProTyre last December. That's for 18" rims. Didn't think it was too bad.

POST 8Original post

I just booked these guys, 173.89 each for 265/35R18 ZR CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT 2 N2 and they come to you so not bad .
