In my experience the Rossos are as quiet as the Michelins and run a very close second IMHO.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi,
just found out I have a nail in rear tyre and it will need replacing, I want to replace both rears and have had contis sports n2 now for last 3 sets. I was thinking of changing to dunlop sp sport 9090 as this looks like a replacement according to the tyre stats on here. Front will remain contis until I wear them down a bit more. Any thoughts on these tyres?
thanks
Michelin PS2's for me every time but thats just my opinion.
Replaced Conti all round for these all round and car feels much better and more planted especially in the wet (which is all the feckin' time at the moment!!!)
Strangely, the Dunlops don't appear on the latest Approved Tyres list:
http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/fb.asp?m=386690
Are they still available with N rating?
Cheapest I can find contis is 200 quid each fitted. Luckily a guy in the office just told me he can get them at cost so 180.95 fitted. Anyone want any tyre quotes ask me .
Are Continental still providing tyres to Porsche. I was pricing tyres in last couple of days and OPC indicated that they no longer were.
So what do people believe to be the most appropriate brand on the market?
Mike,
There appears to be two clear front runners that seem to crop up in many tyre threads on this and other forums;
Pirelli's or Michelin's.
My impression from those various discussions is that Michelin's seem to shade it in terms of preference especially when it comes to road noise!

There internet price was about £580 I think!
That's the approved size for 18" (7.5"F and 10"R) rims fitted to pre-facelift cars. Facelift cars with 18" have 8" wide fronts. Quite a few people fit 285's to the rear of pre-facelifts, mainly for better rim protection, but it doesn't seem to upset the balance. Here are the approved tyres from the 2008 list, which comes from the Members Only 996 Technical Article forum:
To agree with Mike - I have Pirelli Asimmetrico's on my C4S and they are very noisy, honestly. Smaller Pilot's on a previous Boxster were much quieter (some of that wil be size of course).
Best
Just had all four corners done on my C4S (N1 295/30/18 rear & 225/40/18 fronts) and and the total cost was £810.80 with

fully fitted. Cheapest I could find.

Doh!!
Yes Ash, Michelin's Pilot Sports N1's. Had to wait a day for the distribution center to get them to the tyre fitters which I expected so if you use this online service give your chosen fitters (from the website) a call to get them to order your tyres. You will get a quote to print out which you take along and that's good for a week.

thanks mate mine will be due shortly same size, was interested in the difference between N1 and N2 as I'm running N1s all round at the moment and felt N2s might be an improvement?
seems like my focus is on the 944 at the moment, impressed by how reasonable parts are from the OPC with club discount too, parts guy really enthusiastic.and helped me a lot[

Just having two fitted at Zentrum. Bridgestones 183 + VAT each inc fitting and disposal and new valves. Having my Carrea 18's refurbed at the same time plus full wheel alignment. I'm happy
Just put a complete set of N4 PZero Rossos on mine today (285.30.18 & 225.40.18.) Bill all in came to £613.00 - Kwik Fit! - and I find them no noisier than the Contis.
