Response 1. They're all makes of tyres ?
Response 2. Yes fine thanks ! :

Response 3. Being serious for a second, what qualities are you looking for, good wet grip, good dry grip, longevity, most comfortable, quietest, cheapest ? What car are they going on ?

P-Zeros leave your wheels exposed, so if you have to reverse park a lot they can take a beating. I'll be going for Michelin Pilot Sports when I replace mine.

Here's a link to a tyre round-up that I collected when investigating this myself:

Just had Yokohama AVSs on my septugenarian beetle and they are brilliant.

Soft, mild & thoroughly compliant, I wouldn't recommend any other washing up liquid.

They're going on my 944 lux, i've got Michelin Pilots on at the moment. I want grip grip and more grip, not so fussed about longevity..

What is the "N" rating that people go on about?

Mine is only a 3.2 Carrera and as such will not hit more than 150mph, so I thought ZR rated tyres would be ok, is this correct?

From another thread:

"Porsche works with several manufacturers to supply tires that meet their requirements. For a given tire model (say Michelin Pilot Sports) an N designation is given if the tire passes Porsches tests. When the tire is given a new revision by the manufacturer (say, different compound, or belts, etc) Porsche will test it again and give it an incremental N designation. IE N1->N2. There is nothing to say that a tire without a Porsche N designation is inferior, but you have to ask yourself if you really want you and your car to be the testing grounds for that. I've heard it said that you don't even want to mix N designations of the same tire model on different axles as this may affect relative grip levels front and aft, etc."
