My 997 C2 has a puncture and I am having a nightmare replacing the tyre. No mobile fitting company has Pirelli P Zero N2s in stock- apparently they are not made anymore. If I change to a different brand would I be wise to change both rear tyres to the new make?

And does anyone know where I could locate a 295/30/ze19 100y N2 Pirelli tyre from...

Thanks,

Andy

Try ebay? You can get lucky on there sometimes.
Try to get one similarly worn to your other three...then should keep you going until you need all of them done (or a pair done).

They were unavailable for ages, (I have been looking for them as well) but new supplies are now about. I am having that exact tyre fitted on Monday at OPC Tonbridge which is from the new stock.

Without any shadow of doubt whatsoever. You should never mix tyres on the same axle.
