I thought I'd post a link to recent thread on PH regarding the above. I know there has been lots of discussion in relation to tyres and, in particular, the Pirelli's on here, so thought it may be of use!

My own two pennies worth is that I currently have N0 Pirelli P Zero tyres on my car, which are the original tyres since build (i.e. about 4 years old). I've been in contact with Pirelli directly about the cracking on my car and they have advised that I should take them to have the tyres replaced (at my cost) then ask the fitter to comply with the relevant complaint procedure around faulty tyres - whereby Pirelli will arrange for the tyres to be picked up and assessed. Any damage that is due to the fault of the manufacturer will result in some form of compensation - which will be pro-rata against the current wear of the tyres.
My rears are pretty bald, so that would mean not much compensation. I've also agreed with Porsche as part of the purchase of the car (as I raised the cracking with them when I purchased the vehicle) that they would pay for 2 new rear tyres when I come to replace them.
Truth be told, I've been holding out for some PS4s to become available in 'N' rating. Michelin are not particularly forthcoming with regards to release date, but anywhere from September - November has been spouted. I'm not sure my rears will last that long, so will probably have to go for N1 rated Pzeros, which I understand to be a step up compared to the N0 incarnation.
Hope the above helps.
