No worries, I think you should be fine. In fact I run NOS Pirelli PZero Assimetrico on mine, no issues. Got BOTH rears for around $300.

Another thing I've just noticed today at fittment; PS2's have no rotational arrows. So you can swap left/right with no issues?

That's a steal!

If you toast them in a year....it's a no brainer! Buy them now!

Just be sure to check the date stamps first.

They are a great all around tire and super beginner DE for rain or shine. Until I started reading Forums I never gave a thought until one day I check my dates on 04TT and realized they were almost 6 years old!

sounds like the deal I got recently... bought 4 of the suckas !!

only thing is these are N2 and its unlikely you'll find N2 for the fronts... i'll be running N4's, no issue to my mind.

As long as they are N's its ok. Spoke to Porsche Tech from Stuttgart who said; “the alterations between the N no's are really minute. If you mix keep the higher N’s at the rear, but it is only psychological as it is doubtful you will feel any difference at all”. I have N3’s at the front and had N4’s at the back. Now I have N2’s at the back. I feel zero difference in handling, grip or otherwise.

per my own experiential data compiled this very morning at triple digit speed(s?). nothing beats a full set of new michelin ps2's.

Great tires! I run PS2's for my street setup, Toyo R888's for track use.
