Different N spec tyres and the extended warranty

Hi all,

Does anyone know for certain if the extended warranty allows you to have different N spec tyres on each axle eg. Michelin N2 on the front and Pirelli N0 on the rear?

I doubt it. Perhaps check with an OPC.

I’ve tried twice today. Brooklands forwarded my call to the Parts department, and as nice as the guy was I really don’t think he knew for certain.

Waiting for Guildford to call me back but my expectations are low.

My Turbo has been to Guildford OPC for various things over the last 2 years and each time they pointed out my ‘non compliant’ mix of N0 one one axle and N1 on the other.
I don’t have a Porsche warranty so I never enquired about any impact on it.
I had to change tyres recently, so have now gone same N rating all round anyway.

Thanks GWL! That's not good news for me, but at least it's more info than I've been able to get officially.

One puncture has cost me 4 tyres :(
