Is it wrong of me to consider this of less importance on a 911 than a middengined Boxster?

A was thinking I could change next time around If I dont find anything negative with the roadholding.

Guess some of you have gone trough some different type och tires. Which ones are preferable performance wise. Not considering the price?

Porsche tests tires & requires them to be optimized for the Porsche they will be mounted on before granting their approval, which is indicated by the "N" designation on the sidewall.
"N" tires are the best overall tire for the Porsche's design criteria, not the least of which is safety in a wide variety of conditions.

Sorry Bypro, Drink whatever Kool-Aid you want

There are many great tires that don't carry a N rating. Some better than those that do

I suppose you ONLY use Mobile 1 as well?

Comes from the same knowledge base that solved your slow leak issue, but don't worry I won't be doing that again. Interesting to note you have nearly as many posts as I despite being a member less than half as long as I have. I wonder how the contributions stack up

That's a hell of an attitude

You are a fool for inspiring it!


Ever wonder why some tread designs are only available on "N" rated tires?
