If you wish to maintain the warranty, then any replacement needs to have Porsche N type approval

I’m intrigued as to the basis on which a warranty claim would be denied if you had the correct size Corsa/Pilot Sport 4S/ etc but not with the Porsche N approval.

Is that for a new car warranty or the Porsche approved warranty? It can’t be for a new car as you don’t even have to use an OPC for servicing but you do for the approved.

Actually you don’t have to use OPC for any warranty. It is deliberately ambiguous wording but in a nutshell it means a claim could be denied if the failure in question can be proved to be CAUSED by the non OPC service.
I looked into this extensively and have even spoken to Porsche GB before booking my wife’s Boxster into an Indy.

I hope so, mine are just about done at less than 8.000 miles!

Yes, correct Jon, but the wording isn’t ambiguous, it’s quite clear, at least it is for the extended warranty I have for the 911. The defect for which a claim is being made would have to have arisen directly as a result of not complying with each and all of the exclusions. One of those is not using an OPC for servicing so Porsche would have to show that say, an indie, caused the defect through incorrect service work. Other exclusions say that everything has to be done ‘in accordance with’ and that all campaigns and recalls have been done, so you’d have to be sure that the indie had completed all those too.

Sorry for the slight topic drift, again, but in this case it’s pretty unlikely that non N rated tyres would directly cause a defect. But as with all these conditions, sometimes for peace of mind it might just be sensible to stick to the recommendation.
