toocan Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Got 20" P Zeros on all 4 so im assuming its best to stick with P zeros for the rears that need replacing? Tyres on the Drive seem hastle free. oponeo have some cheap offers but I cant see if their is a cost to fitting. In short wheres the best place to get em done/any deals about?

Greenman Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Depends somewhat on your attitude. Do you have Warranty and are looking to renew it within the lifetime of these tyres? If so then you will need to have 4 matching tyres all with the same ‘N’ designation (cannot mix N1 and N0 for example). However most people seem to agree the N1 PZERO is much improved over the N0 so if no Warranty issues then I would at least consider the N1. In fact if no Warranty issue I would also consider other options, the Michelin PS4S seems to be the current Internet tyre of choice. i currently have PS4S on the front and a PZERO N0 on the rear, when the rear is worn i will be changing to PS4S all round. Most of the internet providers require you to find somewhere local to fit for you (so add about £15 a corner for this) if you have a Costco card it does frequent offers on the Michelin and Conti tyre options and can work out cheaper than most the internet suppliers.

Greenman Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 6 hours ago, toocan said: Not really bothered about N rated as per @Greenman advice The problem with PZERO is that (unlike most other manufacturers) when they update the tyre they keep the name the same, so how do you know you are getting the latest generation tyre? Of course if you do buy ‘N’ rated you can buy N1 rather than N0 so can be sure. If you go for none N rated PZERO I would recommend that you check the DOT markings to ensure you are getting a tyre manufactured in the last 12 months- which would likely then be equivalent of the N1, of course it’s worth pricing up the N version as it might not in fact be much/any more expensive. ive never used tyresonthedrive myself but my brother in law uses them and has had no issues and I’ve seen a few positive feedbacks on pistonheads so if the price is right go for it.

Stuart21UK Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 not a fan of pzeros personally...difficulty is you already have them on the front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Unless the OP is ragging his car on the limits of traction, having the front and rear axle on different rubber isn't going to be a huge issue. I would swap to Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (N2) as they were the tyre of choice before the more expensive MPS4S came along. Swap the rears now and eventually the fronts for a matching set. I bought these in May and report they have amazing grip in all weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toocan Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Chances are im going to be selling the car (and the 993) to get something a little interesting so id imagine a buyer might not like different type of tyres front and back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy3074 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I’m for the Michelin’s personally (having had both on the 981) but Greenman’s advice is spot on if you’re selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calypso Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy2 (N0) on the front and Pirelli Pzero’s on the rear. The rears will need changing imminently and I’ll be going for Goodyear’s on the rear as the front end grip is excellent. Can get them for about £190 each fitted locally.

Greenman Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I can’t recall many people having any complaints with the Goodyears, but it does make you wonder when the latest iteration is Assy5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the fronts are marginally cheaper again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
