I feel your pain .... I have looked at my list of favoured (good service and generally have stock) tyre suppliers .... not good news. Of the 6 only one had stock and that was in an N2. An ebay part worn maybe your best solution unless you replace all four. Here is an example: [link=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-x-265-35-19-Y-Michelin-Pilot-Sport-2-N1-/320735060179?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item4aad4ca0d3]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-x-265-35-19-Y-Michelin-Pilot-Sport-2-N1-/320735060179?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item4aad4ca0d3[/link]ORIGINAL: dominique Digging up an old thread here as I currently need one rear tyre, I have N1's all round and no surprise that I can't find a rear (265 35 19) N1 anywhere. East London OPC said I'd have to replace all 4. I contacted Michelin and they said the following: Technically we would find the fitting of N2 on the rear and N1 on the front acceptable and therefore only necessitating the purchase of two new tyres, however we are aware this could invalidate any warranty you have with Porsche therefore we would recommend that you check with your local Porsche dealer. I can't believe that I'm going to have to waste virtually Ă‚ÂŁ900 of decent tyres because one needs replacing. []
Most good fitters will. As for your Tyre Pressure monitoring, if the transducer is 4-5 years old chances are in will need replacing in the near future. However your dealer will be able to tell you exactly. Porsche recommend replacing the valve stem regardless when the tyres are replaced. It's a good idea to have a spare one as the Porsche one differs from the generic one the tyre shops seem to have. (You are sat down though) they are around 15 pounds. 955 361 053 00 is the part number. You can get away with replacing the internal spring valve but these can be prone to leak after removing to deflate the old tyre.ORIGINAL: dominique Thanks, looks like this is my only option other than replacing all 4. Will most tyre places fit used tyres? Also, what things do I need to be aware of with the tyre pressure monitoring?
If your going to the clinic ask when your car is given a diagnostic check how much battery life remains in the current transmitters. They can call this up very easily.ORIGINAL: dominique Thanks ever so much Nick, I actually ordered the one on the ebay link you posted and it arrived today, looks just perfect as its about the same amount of tread as the other rear tyre. Should hopefully keep me going a bit longer until the other tyres are nearer the end of their life! Will speak to my OPC on the 8th when I'm in for the coupe clinic about the transducer as I'm not in an immediate hurry to change the tyre. Thanks again for all your help, very much appreciated!
Result! Would have been worth getting that in writing!ORIGINAL: dominique Anyway, outcome was they agreed I could mix N1's on the front with N2's on the rear without any problems with warranty...
