I note these tyres are now N0 rated.

http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-pilot-spo...

I say now because they don't seem to be listed for 981 Cayman here
https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/p...

Has anyone any experience of these, can comment on them?

not sure it's a real 4S on that car, I remember something odd about that tyre/car combo

might be a PS4 N0 with a S badge on it or some thing odd about it.

I think the Porsche Approved list is out of date.

Be interesting to know which sizes of 4S tyres are now N rated.

Michelin last told me PS4S N marked 20" for 981/718 were due out possibly next month. But then they've been telling me they're due out soon for the last year and a half!

I'll wait until my F1's are wearing out and then try and find some. Rears are down to 4.5mm after 19k miles.

One of the sizes of PS4S that my other halves 911 takes appeared on Camskill the other day with N rating. No stock and no date for them but they weren't there the other week.

EDIT to add - front and rear sizes now showing: Annoying as I've just bought another set of Pirellis for it as they were the only N rated option other than Cups

A PCGB member is having these N0 tyres fitted to his 718CS so they must be available albeit perhaps in limited supply at present

Yes I have them on my 981, car feels solid with them on.

Blows Goodyear, etc. out of the water.

Interesting video to help show what all the fuss is about.

I've always found the N rated tyres available to the 981 lacking, I'm so happy with my new Michelin's!

Sorry, I should have clarified, these are for a Gen 1 991 C4S.

I can find the rears at Tyreleader: https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/michelin/pi...

Can't find the fronts online via a quick search.

Of course you can get these NON N-marked, but I need the "N" for my warranty.

If anyone finds front or rear, N-marked, and in stock could they post a link so we know they are actually around? Might help those looking.

When looking for tyres for my wife's X! recently I found "in stock" on a web page didn't actually mean they had them!

Anyone fancy a group buy of metal embossed 'N's that could be heated and briefly pressed against the sidewall of a tyre.....? biggrin

Just had a set of 4 MPS4S fitted to my 981 Cayman. The sidewalls feel very soft to touch, looking forward to 5 o'clock when I can go for a drive

Please let us have your thoughts. I presume they will stick like sh*t to a shovel, so what I'm really interested in is ride quality and road noise. Cheers.

For some context I have just replaced a set of N rated Goodyear Asymmetrics which were only two or three months old. Now it could be placebo but the Michelins feel very solid and not soft and wooly like the Goodyears. Officially they are 1DB louder than the Goodyears but can't say I've noticed...

Obviously it's cold and wet at the minute so no track orientated tyre is going to work well without getting some heat into it, but I look forward to seeing how things progress as the miles increase and I get to experience the tyre in more scenarios.

Hi guys, do you know if the PS4S are now N0 rated for a GT4?

Had a set fitted to my GT4 last week, not done many miles as yet but know a few have them fitted to McLarens and love them.
