Yes only Pirellis. But it could be worse, or example, if you had a Formula 1 car.

If you see someone driving around the island in a white with red guts Triumph TR3, stop and say Hi. That's my Sanibel car. My 911 is now in my Miami garage and my Austin-Healey is now in Vermont.
I will keep an eye out for your Triumph, I am only a part time resident of the Island. I bought my 991 and a Cayenne from Terry, excellent customer service.

I love the stitching in your car, it looks great.

Aren't the Pirellis the only N rated tire available for the S 20" wheels?

At present yes. More will follow. By the time they are in need of replacement there will be others.

By the way, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Pirellis it comes with. They perform better than the PS2s that used to come on S models and give a decent ride in addition. Mine are wearing evenly at 15k miles and won't need replacement for another 5 or so. I plan to then get MSSs, N or no N.

I put the tires on 31 & 35 and the "tire light" came up... The "comfort mode" was check on the comp. Of the car not the "load mode". Anybody can explain?

Question, does anyone have a rattling noise on driver side door, I do when I hit bumps, I try to ignore, but its getting to me.
I use 36/44 for tire pressure, when I got it from the dealer (The Collection) was ar 40/48 way too much.
Another issue I have is the trunk opening button inside the car, I pull it up and the whole casing kind of lifts up.
Love PSE and love riding it, too bad Miami does not have winding roads.

There is an approximate 4x6 inch plastic panel insert at the lower door hinge that has become loose on my car when cleaning. It doesn't fit as well as it should. Maybe yours is loose and rattling.

I did some squirming as well and the reason I found is that the right side seat bolster is larger or deeper than the left side - I presume this is for ease of entry but at times it makes me squirm.

All 20" 991 Wheels are fitted with Pirelli P0 at the factory. No choices. Previous models of 911's the only thing you could not specify from the factory was the tire. You got what Porsche wanted you to have, end of story. Now, apparently the exclusivity is because Porsche made a deal with Pirelli for Pirelli to fund the research.

Porsche's three year contract with Pirelli makes the Michelins impossible to get on the new car. You have to wear them out quick or just buy the MSS and replace the Pirelli's.

You must have a convertible if the whole casing lifts up. Use the other button towards the front of the car and the frunk will open. The casing lifts up to clean under there and add fluids.

It was loose on my C2 as well. Reported to dealer and he changed it out for a tight fitting replacement under warranty.
