Replacing Tires

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Tires should not be more than 6 years old!

Tires must not be repaired and the use of inner tubes in tubeless tires is not permitted.

When replacing a tire on an axle, make sure that the tread depth of the new tire does not differ from that of the other tire by more than 30 %.

If new tires are mounted or the tires of one axle are replaced, tires of the same make and with the same specification code must always be used on each of the two axles.

If tires are replaced on one axle only, the different tread depth compared to the other axle can cause a noticeable change in the usual vehicle handling. This is especially the case if new tires are mounted on the rear axle. This effect decreases with increasing tire mileage.

The overview of summer and winter tires is included in Technical Information (TI), Group 4. When replacing summer tires, pay close attention to the tire specification number for the same make of tire. The specification characters (for example N0) distinguish the summer tires specially authorised by Porsche from other models of the same tire type and size.

Customers should be informed that the full performance of new or newly mounted tires is achieved only after driving the vehicle for a distance of 100 to 200 km (60 to 120 miles). Extreme driving manoeuvres (acceleration, braking) should be avoided.
