Mikerow Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 When I purchased my 2004 986 it had continental sports contact 2 n2 tyres all round. I replaced the rears with the same just after I got the car. It’s time to change the fronts. Can’t find any continental sports contact 2 in 225 40 18 N2. What would you suggest I put on the front? I'm confused 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 seem to be seem to be the N rated tyre of choice around here, and Pirelli N rated tyres are not liked. Then again others are quite happy with Goodyear Asymmetric 5, Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2, plus Khumo and Avon. Many tyres have ben developed since any tyres were homologated to N spec for a 986 so seems relatively pointless now as a N rated Mich PS4 wasn't tweaked for a 986, more like a 981... You pays your money you makes your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 I don't think PS4 is N rated. There are actually very few tyres in 18" front and rear which are the same or matching let alone N rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikerow Posted November 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I’m looking to only replace the front tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 If the rears have plenty of life left and you are happy with the Contis just buy the non N rated version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
