I have protyre around one hour away from me. Problem is I can’t seem to find LS3 on there - entered reg and also searched by tyre sizes..

Going NO front and rear increase price around £50 - no idea why...

"MACATYRE15" is their discount code. They list the 21 inch Macan Michelin with a "PS" description.

Checked protyre and they only have 1 rear latitude in stock with no option to add more - also doesn’t mentioned NO rating and no front latitude available...

Think I’ll be going conti 5, can get a full set for £700 exc fitting which seems fair, from camskill

I think I'd be tempted to go for the Michelin LS3 (all N0 rated) at about £800 total (eg from Black Circles)

BTW, here's a useful article about n-rated tyres: https://www.design911.co.uk/blog/what-are-n-rated-tyres/

Camskill is situated in Whitehaven, Cumbria and that's the only place they do tyre fitting. Camskill are a good company, but primarily mail order.

Protyre is part of the Micheldever Group - one of GB's largest tre wholesaler with next day delivery to most of its retail tyre fitting centres.

I just checked and they do have the Michelin NO spec in stock and this is there fully fitted price [inc the old tyres disposal charge etc]:

The 2 nearest garages to me didn’t give me the option to add 4 tyres. Maybe low on stock, I’d have thought they can order in.. maybe ur local garage stock and mines don’t... appreciate the link though.

BC can do 4 LS3’s fitted for circa £795 which is fair

Do people stick to N rated tyres and what brand is best value? I was considering Yokohama advan sport, Goodyear eagle f1 or Michelin Latitude Sport ?
Another supplier to try is Oponeo - 0800 066 3422 - they will deliver anywhere, no fitting service. You should to stick N Rated.

Interesting read and reinforces the need to always be using N rated approved tyres.

Not seen mentioned here, is the fact that if your Macan is covered by Porsche warranty, then you have to fit N Rated tyres. In fact Porsche will not repair a puncture, if you are unlucky enough to get one to comply with the Porsche warranty you have to buy a new one!
I went to a talk last year @ a Protyre branch by a Pirelli development engineer who said that an N rated tyre is made to an approved spec by them for Porsche, he actually said to mix N rated & non N rated tyres was dangerous due the difference in sidewall construction & compound etc. He had cross section examples of the differences to illustrate the issue, it was staggering!
I hope this info is useful.

Hi. Just about to purchase these. The fronts seem to show as XL but the rears don’t. Can anyone confirm is these are a correct matching set?
