Would appreciate the more expert on here giving me their views.
My gen 2 997 GT3 is approaching 7500 miles from new on the original Corsa system.
I am personally very happy with them but as a N0 rated tyre they are no longer available.
Car is used purely as a sunday / fun toy on the roads ( sorry chaps ) - no track work.
As such if I need to replace all 4 , suggestions ?

Cheers guys.It seems that if I need to keep within the Porsche Warranty I have to go PS2 rather than the 4 which sounds a better option.
I struggle with why apparently some OPC's appear relaxed with fitting different exhausts and yet no problem with the warranty ( unless directly an issue caused by it ) and yet tyres have to be N rated.

Thats a very fair point - its earliest use in the year is March usually but yes I dont think its seen much rain ! - I vaguely recall that Cups were an option when I originally ordered the car ( although it appeared random what it arrived with ) and they had less tread than the Corsas - that said I might be talking b*llocks.
With " normal " road use would Cups last 4k ?
