New Tyres

Hi

In order to renew the warranty on my brother's 997, he needs to replace all of the tyres, as he can't get one Michelin Pilot sport N3 that he needs.

The question is now what are the best tyres to go for Michelin Pilot Sport N4's or Continental Sport Contact 3 N1?

The car is used for day to day driving and never tracked.

One concern that he does have is being in the same position again in the short term, i.e. that the tyres get discontinued and he has to change the whole set again, as they all have the same N rating to comply with Porsche's warranty restrictions and possible also car insurance.

I have been told that there are N5 variants in some sizes of the Michelin Pilot Sport and with a Pilot sport 3 and the Super Sport available, but not N rated yet, are the N4's getting near the end of their lives, but then I don,t know how long the Sport Contact 3's have been around.

Or would people recommend another brand of N rated tyre?

Many thanks

Tan
 
These are summer tyres. Your brother should consider purchasing a set of winter tyres or taking up one of the winter tyre and wheel deals currently being offered at OPC's. This will solve his immediate problem with warranty and give him plenty of time to source a new or good used Michelin Pilot sport N3 before next spring. Michelin tell us there will be no 'N' rated Pilot Super Sport available next year. Regards, Clive.
