Hello, I have the 20" rims also, with the pirelli tires, just wondering how many miles your getting out of them?I'm driving a 718 Cayman with 20" rims. Nearly time to replace the Pirelli's. Anyone running any other brand. For me, the car is a daily driver so i'm looking for quiet running. I haven't yet done any track time so not too important.
Wow, I guess they don't last long, I'm at 4500 miles now.so far they've done 14000kms (about 9000 mls). My 718 Cayman was the dealers demonstrator and had been on the track, plus my daily drive is a pretty good hill and curve filled trip. I imagine i'd get 20,000kms if it was flat driving.
I still have my Goodyears on my '17CS, but I have heard very good reports about the new Michelins. One of my friends( '16 CS ) replaced his Pirellis with the new Michelins and said the tire noise reduced dramatically and he felt that the handling improved.I'm driving a 718 Cayman with 20" rims.

Are the MPS4S rated as N spec for the 718 yet?Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the best sport tire you can buy for the 718.
^^^This! They are phenomenalMichelin Pilot Sport 4S is the best sport tire you can buy for the 718.
You're correct; my post is corrected. Think I got the PSS confused with the PS3+ A/S tire. Thanks (That's what I get for not checking myself)!The name would let asume it, but the PS3 was not the predecessor of the new PS4S. The predecessor was the PSS (Pilot Super Sport).
The PS3 was the predecessor of the PS4 without S.
The S make a big difference.
Hope the Pilot Sport 4S will be available in 19" size with N spec when I need new tires on mine. Which will be soon... :|Edit: yes they are. A bit of searching on tirerack has them listed as N0 (at least for 20 inch wheels)
If they're available, sure. If they're not, I wouldn't sweat it. It's my understanding that the primary thing Porsche focuses on improving with the N-spec is high-speed (i.e., triple-digit) wet-weather traction.What would y'all do for the 19" at the moment?
P Zero N1s
or
Pilot Sport 4S not N spec
I lean towards only using N spec tires. Thoughts?
The PS4S are available in 19" sizes for the 718 now. TireRack has them. IMO the N spec doesn't really matter for such a tire. We all know the tire is amazing. It just doesn't have an N spec because Porsche hasn't officially approved it yet. I'm going to get them when the Yokohamas that came on my car need to be replaced. My Porsche dealership will install them as well - doesn't matter that they are not N spec.
