From memory, members of Porsche Club of Great Britain get £50 off two Pirelli tyres or £100 off four.

That's an impressive mileage on a single set of tyres!
Either the AS compound is made out of wood or you drive that car extremely conservatively! I don't think I've ever managed more than 20k miles on any set of tyres on any car ever! I have Latitude Sport 3 summer tyres on my Tesla X and they have so far managed 16k miles and I might just get 20k out of the set. I was actually quite impressed with their wear rate based on the size and weight of the X and plenty of spirited cross-country driving.
100 miles per day on motorway - no stress really. But I couldn't believe it either. Our last Golf had 75k on the rears when we traded it in. I couldn't believe that either!
When I traded in my last Macan at 23000 miles the Michelin all seasons still had 5mm all round and looked good for another 23000. Great tyres and a shame that they seem to have been discontinued .

Discontinued? I just had one* fitted by ATS this week! All tyres measured 4.5mm - 5.0mm after 31K miles.

I recently thought it weird that N0 were more expensive than N1 given that N1 are a newer version of the tyre.

Don't forget to send off for your Porsche-Pirelli refund card when you do the change :D
But be sure to record how much you spend off it as there seems to be no way to find out what is left on it :?

Meausring depths over the weekend - the 718 has 2-3mm all round and McCann at least 3mm left on all four. Not bad after 51.2k!

I note the Pirellis have many cracks on the face of the tyres in between the treads. Not good!

They are no longer shown on the Michelin UK website. Only all season shown is the Cross Climate ( SUV) version which does not have N approval. if you enter Macan as the vehicle, the site recommends having Summers and winter sets. N approved All seasons still shown on Pirelli site

Very specific question not directly answered by first reply

Car is in for a service and I have a nail in a tyre, Porsche are saying tyre must be N0.

Blackcircles have same spec Michelin Latitude Sport 3 at much better price (obviously) but these are N1. So presumably just an evolution of the N0?

So still Porsche rated, assume there is no warranty issues with fitting N1 tyres?

You've said "tyre", singular. Tyres on the same axle should be the same N rating so I assume they are saying N0 because that is the rating of the good tyre on the same axle.
