alank Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Has anyone used Yokohama Advan Sport V105 on their 981. I had them on my old 986 and they seemed a nice all round tyre. Or any other brands apart from Pirelli and Michelin . Just curious, as i have Pirelli PO at moment and am thinking about future choice, not sure if keeping to NO rated tyres has any advantage . Dont think it is an insurance requirment, only a requirment if Porsche Warranty is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alank Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 Update, looks like these Yoko's are porsche rated anyway , so on they will go i think. The Yoko Advan v35 is factory fitted for the Cayenne anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) I have the V107 on my 987... great tyre, typical of Yokohama really. Â N rating is only a requirement from Porsche if you have a Porsche warranty, if not it is not relevent at all Edited April 30 by Bike Loon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I understand the NO rated Michelin PS4s tyres have a blend of 3 compounds accross the tread width, for example a harder compund on the outer edges of the tread to stand up to hard cornering etc. Porsche have dropped the NO requirement for warranty purposes according to a thread on PH. At the moment, the Porsche NO tyres are cheaper than the generic PS4 S versions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmand Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Worth comparing the load ratings on the PS4s with the official spec for the car - whilst they are N rated I suspect that will be OE spec for a 911?  Porsche are in the process of introducing model specific N ratings now to distinguish more clearly, NA for 911 and NB for Boxster/Cayman - though I’ve not seen any of the latter yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER88 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I’ve just ordered new tyres for my 981. Pilot Sport 4 S’s and they were £1140 on Blackcircles. These are for 20’ wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alank Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 WOW , did that include the wheels,😂 I think i'm out of touch with tyre prices, mine came with new P's 4 years ago, so have not bought any in that time.. I remember buying the Yoko's for the 986 , and the rears were £110, fast forward , bit of a difference now it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Just sold my 987 which would have required new 18 inch rears, had I kept it, at £440 . Newly acquired 981 has 20 inch Pirellis so not looking forward to the cost when time comes. But then again it goes with the territory.

BrianJ Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 If you have to stick to Pirelli's, 20" N1 are much much better than N0. Better grip (especially in wet) and more compliant ride. More like I remember Michelins in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
