Note: Only tyres of the same make, with the same specification code (N0,N1,N2,N3) may be used on a single vehicle
The testing by Porsche for this report was completed in 2009. These are all great tyre brands. Don't be tempted by cheapo tyres not designed for the Porsche 928. Make sure you have N rated (N0,N1,N2,N3) Porsche approved tyres.
