Question

I am looking at replavcement tyres for my UK300, 225/40 18's. Was looking at Mytyres and saw they had Bridgstone S02's listed, but only in what I think were Porsche fitments, N1, N2 and N3.

Can anyone explain what the N1 etc, relate to?

Thanks

The N numbers denote tyres that have been developed and tested in conjunction with Porsche and are approved for fitment to certain of their models only. Put them side by side with standard tyres of the same size and make and you will notice that they have different tread patterns and profiles - great for Porsches.... lousy for Scoobys!

Stick to the standard fitments - it's much safer!

Thanks for the info John, I'll have to be a bit more careful when selecting the options.
