I replaced my rear set with the factory brand this past Saturday. I got the best price at a national retailer on the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 295/30ZR19XL 100Y N1; however, they couldn't explain the difference between what I bought and this version: 295/30ZR19XL 100Y POR. The POR cost $40 more per tire. Thanks for the clear explaination. I replaced my rear set with the factory brand this past Saturday.

I agree, they are fantastic. However, on a sedan, like my mercedes, you get some pretty significant road noise if you run them spring and summer so I always swap them out.. HI, Carol,

Nokia. I am still using them from the 1st yr. and decided to use them all year, 2009, trying to wear them down thinking that they would not pass this winter and I'm due to but new ones, NOKIA, of course. WRONG. I live in Upstate NY and see lots of snow, ice and stop on a dime. So much for Porsche rated tires. There is only one winter tire for me on my 04 Cayenne S. Nokia.

Especially good because I see a lot of Porsche searches pertaining to tires. Another popular search is "Porsche 996 Dead Battery & Locked Hood" because of that reason I have posted a solution today: http://perryandcoblog.com/2009/11/17/porsche-carrera-911-996-dead-battery-locked-hood-solution/ Obviously, I don't want to step on your toes if you already have a post on the subject but I found a solution hard to find when I needed one. Keep up the good work! Jon Great article!

Once you 'mod' you car the shoeing process becomes a hit or miss game as to road noise, hydroplaning and handling. Every tire is different even those that fall under identical spec perform differently. Speed Rating is always easy to solve. As for non-modified cars Porsche N Spec are dead on. Yet remember the following - a Yokohama and P-Zero of identical N spec perform differently in all areas other than speed rating. Such is true between al manufacturers.

When I interned at a tire distributor, I wrote an article that explained how tires were generally rated and tested -- loved reading how Porsche decides which rubber shoes make a great fit on their cars!
