I really like them, however I don't track them. Spirited driving is all I can do on Long Island. Compare the specs.

 

Okay, by letting a non dealership change tires, would it affect the warranty on the car or its tires?

 

I agree with discount tire also.... I even had them price match for one of the cheaper online retailers, they just factored in shipping.

 

Seriously? You've always gone to a dealer for tires? No, it will not invalidate your warranty and there are plenty of shops that can install a tire. It is not rocket science.

However, one minor caveat worth noting. Are you leasing? A Porsche must have "N" spec tires. I'm not sure that the Super Sport tire is N spec yet. If you return the car with non N spec tires, you could be subject to reconditioning charge. Easy, go to Tirerack, enter your car and see all the choices and the OEM tires. The Michelin PSSs really seem to be about the best going at this point and they are about $1300 a set.

 

What? I thought you had to go to the Porsche dealer for everything! Thats what the salesman said when I bought it

 

It's not leased, so I can take it to other places for tire change? They not gona mess up some other parts of the car will they?

 

Many non dealer tire install shops have put tires on Porsches ranging from all different years. Everything worked great on mine, even my TPMS. If you are nervous just get it done at a dealer. It's more money, but piece of mind is.....Pricesless.....

 

Center locks - Porsche dealer only!! If you can afford a Porsche who cares what the tires cost!!! Still cheaper than the girlfriends shoes.

 

I just bought 2 Michelin PS2s for the rear from Tire Rack. Paid roughly $500 a tire plus installation. I looked at the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, and they are a good value, but they are an inferior performance tire and if I remember correctly, they are not Z rated and not recommended for my 997S.

 

I got a set of Kumho's. Cost me about $800. Happy with them.

that does not mean people want to throw their money away!
lets be smart, savvy consumers, instead of arrogant, dumb ones

 

Does anyone have a different manuf. on the fronts versus rears? How do you settle the different wear conditions?

 

I've had Porsches for years and never heard of anyone taking them to a dealership to get tires changed, it isn't a hard job. I recommend getting. Pilot Super Sports they are rated more highly then the pilot sports and cost less. When you take your car for install be sure to ask them not to stack the rims, or to place them face down as this may scratch them.
