N rated?

Thanks for the link. I'm sure the N ps2s are great tires but I don't know that I can justify paying more for an out of date design. I wonder why Porsche hasn't N rated the super sports yet they're usually hand in hand with Michelin.

Jake - your a student and by definition on a budget. With that in mind there are plenty of quality tires at reasonable prices. I can recommend Sumitomo HTR Z II as decent summer tires. Sumitomo HTR Z III are also good but are a little stickier with still a decent UTQG of 300. Neither will break the bank and offer 90% of the best tires, which in some cases cost double, and are likely to be better then what the car had from the factory. Tire tech has advanced quit a bit since these cars were in production.

I imagine it's because they don't want to go through the certification process for an out of date....car.

It's the latest Michelin tire and isn't N rated for the newest Porsche's. when researching I found a lot of rennlist guys asking the same question about their 981s, gt4s, 911s and etc. if you want N rated you can't get a super sport which is odd.
