Picked up a set of wheels and tires from a fellow pcar owner. The wheels have the “non N0” rated PS4S tires on them. I am going to the track with them next weekend.

What should I expect vs the N0 rated tires?
thanks in advance

less Porsche approval...

sorry...

more seriously, I think non N rated tires may be a little narrower at same nominal size (saw that somewhere) likely no big difference.

Throw them away and scrap them! J/K! Next time, get them replaced with "NO" tires.

You won’t notice any difference. More important, is making sure your brake fluid is good (ie moisture-free) and that you have an appropriate alignment to match how hard the car will be pushed at the track (too little camber will result in excess wear on the outer edge of your tires - most tracks it will be the front left which suffers most as a result of right turns)

What track are you going to?

A tad narrower from what I have learned.

You're going to have no grip and it'll be a terrible experience.

Just kidding. You won't notice any difference at all.
