As per subject. New tyres time, would love to try out PSS on my 981 Boxster. Does anyone know if they are available in N-specification?

I should say I am running 20" wheels. I've checked the Michelin site and the correct fitments are listed (F: 235/35/20 R: 265/35/20) but it makes no reference to the magic N rating.

No point turning this into another discussion about the N-rating.

Thanks chaps.

Not that weird if the front fitment is shared with, say, the 911 but not the rear. A pain though, all the same.

I read earlier that the Cayman and Boxster in GTS trim are fitted with Goodyear Eagle F1s. Did you consider those?

ETA: What, sorry, 30k miles?! On one set? My car has done just over 10k...

I guess not if you are doing the commute.

Like I said, I managed just over 10k and the rears are shot, fronts not looking too tidy. But then I only ever use the car for fun driving
