The all seasons seem to wear very slowly. I still had 6mm all round when I sold mine at a shade under 12k miles

I’m guessing but some might say we’re not driving aggressively enough. :roll:

I prefer to look at it as being from the Jenson Button school of tyre management.

I just had a puncture from hitting the kerb, and since i only had 2-3mm left of tread on my tyres - done 23K miles - i may aswell get all 4 changed anyway.

I am debating over two models:-

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV.

I know the 4S is good however - has any tried the Pilot Sport 4 SUV? and whats the differnce?

Just bear in mind that only the Latitude Sport 3 is 'N' approved by Porsche. If nothing else, it could be an issue if you came to sell the car without approved tyres fitted.
