987.2 tyres, again

[SV_WDC]

Have tried the search but nothing recent has come up.

Rear tyres due an upgrade soon, and car is currently running Eagle F1's on my Cayman.

Few questions:
1. What is the difference between N0, N1, N2 tyres? Current ones are N0 rated, so should I replace with N0's?
2. Is it worth taking the hit & upgrading to the Michelin Supersport/Pilot Sport 2 tyres? Will need to do fronts too so will get expensive
3. Any advice for fitment centres - looking at Black Circles & there are some approved garages near me, but want a garage that will take care of the diamond cut alloys

Appreciate any advice.

The Goodyears are great all rounders and wear well. I have them on my 981 and on my TTS prior. What would you hope to achieve with the Michelins?

I read they are better & seem to be a popular choice on forums.

Good to hear you are happy with the Goodyear's, I may stick with them.

Careful with mail order tyres, they are new as in unused but are often old as in have been lying around for a couple of years. I suspect this might be why they are able to offer the deals the do - so check the age they are sending you. Tyres have a finite life by time.

Thanks for this & to all the other posters. Sticking with the Goodyear's & the garage confirmed the tyres will be at least a late manufacturer 2016 tyre, but as they are coming direct from Goodyear will likely be newer.
