Have a 992 Carrera S and need new rear tires. Tire Rack is backordered with no date indicated for Goodyear OEM spec. Are there other reliable USA sources. Left rear tire had encounter with long 1/2 inch diameter bolt yesterday. Likely flipped by truck I was passing as I would have most likely seen an object that big in road.

 

Recently (1-month) had a front (P0) replaced by the dealer. You might try your SA? A week ago I tried to purchase some fairly standard sized Michelins for an SUV through tirerack and national discount tire - neither could get them claiming COVID factory shutdown would take many months before replenishment.

 

Looks like Pirellii P0s are available in Porsche spec but assume I would need to buy for all four wheels. Only 3000 mi on the Goodyear originals. Found several sites and no luck on Goodyear. Will check with Porsche dealer tomorrow.

 

I second trying your dealer. I had to replace a flat once...had the car towed to the the dealer. Figured the last place you’d want to have to purchase a tire is from a Porsche dealer, but to my amazement they charged LESS than Tire Rack or Discount Tire. As an added bonus they included tire insurance for the life of the tire!

 

I bought Non-N tires and dropped them off day before appointment. No problem for dealer to install.

 

Got new Goodyear from Porsche Tire Sales. Was actually cheaper than Tire Rack price. Also own a 2013 Cayenne GTS that needed new tires. Got 4 Porsche rated Michelin tires from Porsche dealer at a price lower than Tire Rack. Checked the web site of several Porsche dealers and it appears that recently Porsche set up a tire supply service for their dealers.

 

This is good to hear—the last time I was offered tires from a dealer they were 2x the cost of Discount/Tire Rack.

 

So is Tire Rack getting cocky (raising their prices / not providing good discounts) OR did Porsche finally wake up to the missed business opportunity?

 

Anyone know (or at least heard any good rumors) on WHEN Tire Rack or other tire discounters will provide Michelin's for the 992 (20/21 config)?? Inquiring minds would like to know..

 

I've been running non-N rated PS4S tires all summer (315's in the rear). I'd rather have the best tire available on my car than worry about having N-rated tires. And I have the original set of basically brand new N-rated tires in storage so that I can put them back on the car when it's time to sell it or trade it in.

 

I asked a Michelin rep this very question (several months ago...spring time) and the answer was a vague one, but indicated late 2020. Can't wait for my Goodyears to give up the ghost and put on a set of 4Ss'!
