Hi,

Looking for a reliable source for pair of Rear Michelin PCS 325 30 ZR19.

I have N1 rated rears, all I can get is N2. Would I need to change all 4 to N2 ?.


Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers.

If you are driving it just on the road and are not bound to an OPC warranty renewal then just mix them. If you are driving on track then it is better to replace the whole set anyway so that the balance of grip due to heat cycles on the tyres are consistent.

Irrespective of my opinion though, the answer to your question is TyreLeader at https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres-325-30-19/?...

If you're not bound by warranty I've got a pair of brand new never fitted Tyres but they're not N rated. Pm if you're interested

Thanks for the replies, it's a minefield out there re info on these tyres. It's under warranty so gone with new set of PCS zero rated all round.

Only the most absurdly anal OPC would insist on all four being the same N-rating - so long as they are all N-rated you'll be fine.

Surely switching all 4 to cup2s would be the better option? They really are much better than the original cup+ imo.

Couldn't get N1's, apparently can't mix. Porsche only access to N2 and the new Zero. Offered very good deal to swap all 4 to Zero's so took it. Mine are actually PCS + as originally fitted.

Whats the new zero, pirellii? Or do you mean N0? If so thats the older N rated tyre, have made them for a while so i would check the date codes.

Same N front and rear is total blks. There is no way that would void a warranty. Some idiotic clerk mat argue the toss come renewal time but if you have not worn out the fronts by then just tell them to do one..

Thanks for all your help, the deal I was offered to change 4, was impossible to pass up.

Robbo - can you pm me what price you got please as my gen 2 RS is currently in at Reading and will likely need a set of tyres. Car is on its original set.

Thanks,

Ben.
