Hello,

I had a flat (driver's rear tire) on my car the other day. My current tires (pretty old Continental tires that I bought the car with) are no longer made and the dealer recommended I replace all 4 tires. Since I couldn't buy the same exact tire, the dealer called Porsche and they agreed to buy the 2 front tires if I bought the 2 rears...a great deal for me since I was going to have to buy all 4 soon anyway.

My new tires are 18" Michelin PS2 N4.

Has anyone else had Porsche chip in on replacement tires when the old make was no longer available?

I love happy endings....Go Panthers!

Rick

 

nice windfall

 

Same thing happened to me. Had Conti Sport Contact 2 N0 specs. Needed 2 new rears. Porsche provided 2 new ps2 and I paid for the other 2. Funny thing is I asked the dealer if I could keep the front tires being replaced since they both had some decent tread left but they told me that Porsche requires them to send back all 4 four original tires. Must be a lot of tire swings in Stuttgart!

 

Amazingly, this happens quite a bit! Glad to hear that it worked out in your favor!

 

Happened to me when dealer ran out of tires...I bought Michelins for the front they bought the rears.

 

Wow, I like that deal.

What's the best way to self-inflict a tire puncture?
