Hi,
I have a Boxster S with 18" Sport Design Wheels, 225/40/18 & 265/35/18. I can find companies offering front or rear tyres but not a set of 4 matching. Does anyone know anywhere to go (on line or Hants/Staffs area) which are decent but value?

Do I need to stick to Michelin's and the OPC say I need N rated tyres, is this vital?

Cheers for help
Simon

Generally stick to the same type of tyres all round. N rated tyres are a good idea as they're made differently.
Not sure what you mean by not being able to geet tyres for 4 wheels. Try www.mytyres.co.uk for a good range of sizes.

Steve's right. Micheldever tyres is renowned for inexpensive sports tyres.

ON NO ACCOUNT settle for cheap tyres. Michelin Pilot Sport are what you want. Brilliant tyres. Very long lasting, despite extreme punishment. Cheaper ones are IMHO a false economy.

Some people do regard the Pirelli P Zero highly too. Although I've had both and prefer the Michelin.

Yes.

These are your only contact with the road. Your life is in your hands. Why would you settle for less?
