I just left my 986 at the local dealer for a 45K service. my tires are shot and I have been shopping for a new set of 'shoes'. I was discussing having the tires shipped from the Tirerack for installation with a brake service and was advised that I needed tires with an 'N' rating approved by Porsche??? I was told that there are 'Pilot Sports' and then there are 'N rated Pilot Sports". Does anyone know if this has any merit... or is my local dealer just trying to jack me for a mark-up on 'their tires'?
