My Michelin Latitude need replacing all round.

Has anyone tried the Conti 5 or Pirelli P zero? All are Porsche rated... just thinking I might try a different brand.

Which in other words?

I have Conti’s on mine, I suggest if you want longevity choose another brand.
I don’t drive hard 90% of the time but I’m getting circa. 15k-20k mikes maximum.

There’s owners on here claiming 40k miles from their tyres with suitable performance, can’t recall who it was but try a search for tyres on here

Have a look here, half way down page 2, 35k from a set of Pirelli’s

What rim size do you have?

Had Mich O E. on my SD which were pretty good and did 18,000 miles before changing the set at 3mm.

My GTS came on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV which are quieter than the Mich subjectively with much the same in performance and projected mileage.

Generally if you do predominently motorway / straight smooth road driving you will get double my mileage figure. As my driving is mainly country roads with corse tarmac, lots of bends and so more braking. I now do minimal motorway trips.

I have 21" and have Mich on the current SD and use lots of country roads in Lincolnshire.. also a fair few motorway miles. I've covered 7K miles in six months. I;ll take a look at the Eagle F1 ... especially as you say they're quieter

Just noticed the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 are not N rated though.

^^^^^ with the 21" it seems you are limited to Conti, Mich or Pirelli for Porsche N-rated tyres. That's why I asked what rim size you're using.

My 20" Goodyear were O.E. fit and are N-rated.

I like Michelin or Pirelli P zero

Both are great tyres.
