987.1 Tyres

Recommended Posts

Got 4 x PS4’s back in may from ATS for £590 all in. First quote was about £690, but when I challenged that, was offered the “online” price. Also got a free Karcher compact pressure washer direct from Michelin. And yes, they are superb tyres.

 

bargain's are out there with ATS, but need to press them to get creative….

I also have to replace the 2 front. Asked at Q.F and was quoted £191 while the website shows £121 - £123. Why the difference? 

I got caught out like that once when I had a puncture on my 5 series and they were the only place open that had a tyre. Luckily the lady on reception told me to order the tyre in front of her through the website at the cheaper price. There was a good £50 difference - guess it’s a form of lazy tax?

My 987.1 has Bridgestone Potenzas all round.
Was this ever a standard fit? I dont see much mention of Bridgestones on any Porsche forums.

My fronts are badly cracked so tyres will be next on my list.

Yes I see the Potenzas listed at

Had old and cracking Bridgestone S-02 N spec 17" on front of my 986 when I got it.  Ditched them for Goodyear Asymmetric 5 s.

My go to tyre is Goodyear, they've transformed my Boxster. Just come back from a very spirited and very wet trip to the borders, not a twitch.

Not trying hard enough??  Well, the 987 does have TC as standard...

Could someone confirm the correct spec tyre size for a 987.1 MY06 on 17 inch
Is it
Rear = 235 / 50 / R17
Front = 205 / 55 / R17

Also has anyone run Falken tyres ?

That is correct. I am struggling to find any decent tyres that match!
