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.

Try a search - it's your friend. [ ] Tyres and exhausts are probably the two most discussed topics and there are lots of threads to read through. A quick tip when searching is to put a time filter (one year, perhaps) otherwise you don't get any results.

You'll find the top choices are:- Michelin and Pirelli. Continental used to be a top choice but they no longer make N rated tyres for Porsche.
POST 5Original post
IMHO the Michelin Pilot sport cups are the best for grip in all weathers and least noisy... Probably most expensive but worth every penny....unless you drive like miss daisy
POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
OK, cheers.
POST 7Original post
A vote for Michelins here too
POST 8Original post
Contis still seem to be readily available - mytyres.co.uk have all P-sizes listed. I noticed that the Dunlops no longer appear on the May 2008 Approved Tyres list, so if Contis aren't going to be around, then the choice is getting a bit restrictive. Incidentally, my brother pnoned his insurance company (RAC) about fitting non-approved tyres to his Cayenne. They told him that as long as they were the correct type, size and speed rating then there would be no problem, and added a note to his policy to confirm it.

I've got Contis on my 996, alot grippier than my brothers PZeros that are on his Porsche... Perhaps thats just because mine are brand new though [ ]
POST 10Original post
Continentals definitely produce N rated tyres in all the 996 sizes. I've called various tyre dealers and they have confirmed they can get them. Same price as Pirellis, cheaper than Michelins. Try Blackcircles.com. I've even emailed Continental to check and they have no plans to stop production of existing N rated tyres. OPCs, however, will tell you otherwise. Go figure. Continental must really have p***ed someone off at Porsche.
POST 11Original post
I vote for the Michelins...Had Pirelli's and found them noisier
POST 12Original post
and another...
POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Contis - VERY NOISY. However, my top priority is handling and grip, so I dont mind much. +Is the C4 tiptronic 0-60 really 6 seconds?! Feels alot quicker... I'm gonna test it when I get my car back.
POST 14Original post
I got my four N1 rated Miches from www.mytyres.co.uk for my 4S. They worked out cheaper here than black circle.

POST 18Original post
How are you guys getting on with tyres in the recent weather?
POST 19Original post
Paul, I consider the Michelin PS2 or PS Rib to be the best for the 996.
