does anyone know if the new N2s perform as well as the N1s supplied with the car? Is the N1 to be discontinued?

Gt3 owners do you have the same issues?

About to get new boots for the Rs and am wondering if the newer N2s are the better bet.

I have just fitted what I thought was going to be on the 991 GT3

The "Dunlop Race maxx"

who cares about N rated !!! all N rated tyres are old designs who wants them on a expensive sports car.

If people are fitting N rated over super sports for the road they want there heads looking at imo.

my cars been back to Porsche just last week for 2 warranty items with the Dunlops on.

Why are people so scared ?, I would love to see some one get refused a warranty claim because of a tyre not having a N mark.

it would never wash in court.

I've only seen instances where an extended warranty won't be issued if the wrong tyres, battery etc are fitted, I haven't heard of any warranty work not being carried out because the wrong tyres etc have been fitted, has it happened to anyone?

If you want the extended warranty you'll need to fit the right tyres.

It's happened to PHers on here a number of times. Where is Soovy when you need him... You wouldn't want to go to court - Porsche have better lawyers.

It also depends on how good your relationship is with your dealer.

In which case I would point out that your question is superfluous. For a 7.2RS only the rear is available in N2, so you are matching your N numbers and will be running N1 Michelin Cup+s. Unless something has changed since the last time I looked, GT2 drivers were the only ones who could run the N2 Cup in warranty and the fronts for those are not exactly easy to come by...

Sorry - I was being needlessly facetious and forgot the smiley. It is a side effect of reading too many PH tyre threads... getmecoat
