Ive heard people on the Porsche forum talking about only getting 4000 miles out of a set, but I now have 2200 miles on mine (no track days) and they still look like they have a lot of life left in them.
As for prices www.mytyres.co.uk are always a good benchmark.
Fronts are £305.60
Rears are £396.90
I make that £1405 + fitting for a full set!
I assume by the question that yours are close to replacement now, so may I ask how many miles you have had out of them?
No, I have 4k miles on mine but they look ok so far. I think I need to get up a bit early one Sunday and find a nice twisty b-road and see just how sticky they are :-) As for prices www.mytyres.co.uk are always a good benchmark.

I had close to 8000 miles on a set (taking into account that i run winter tyres from Nov-Mar) and mine had another 2000-3000 miles in them if i not picked up a nail last Saturday. This included one day on track at Silverstone - so i think a conservative estimate is 5000 - 6000 miles depending on driving style obviously (and whether you touch that SPORT buttom).
Oh dear. Expensive nail. Did you replace both tyres on that axle?Murph7355 said:
Has anyone tried the 3cm narrower tyres?
Or perhaps an alternative brand? (Though these days, that's always a bit hit or miss on cars like this owing to the way they're set up).
I have not tried 3cm narrower tyres. I can get the TC to light up in 4th in the bone dry in a straight line on hot tyres so no way would I go with a smaller contact with the road !!Or perhaps an alternative brand? (Though these days, that's always a bit hit or miss on cars like this owing to the way they're set up).

Car is still with HWM waiting for a set of new tyres - apparently they are in short supply.
Knowing how much development went into the tyre/wheel set-up of the V12V i would never contemplate putting anything other than the recommended tyre on the car - this is the wrong area to save money imho.
The shortage is something I have heard about. Also agree - don't save money on boots!Knowing how much development went into the tyre/wheel set-up of the V12V i would never contemplate putting anything other than the recommended tyre on the car - this is the wrong area to save money imho.
