Is it possible to find out which tyres are fitted using just the tyre code from a VIN decoder?

This is what is listed:
Tire Code XTB2P059

A Google search results with nothing.

So P0 in the code isn’t a hint they are Pirelli’s?

These the the rear tyres. The fronts have a different code.

From another forum, suggestions are the following:
XT = Pirelli
6U = Michelin

Googling these codes seems to confirm it:

Seems I lost the tyre lottery then.

Why do you want to? It's bad enough with the N rating, don't give Porsche the idea of getting even more precious over tyre choice!

Well that is what I have on my Car that’s not even been delivered.

Not sure I’m happy I found out now or at collection.

Not going to spend £00’s replacing them though.

You never have been able to specify tyres.

If you want specific tyres fitted best advice would be to get the OPC to ensure what you want is fitted when you go to collect even if they have to change the tyres.
