Michelin PS2 N3 and N4
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between Michelin PS2 N3 and N4.
My tire guy says they are the same, if they are then why have N3 & N4.

From Tire rack...
"Production tires that have passed all of the tests and received the engineering department's release can be branded with an N-specification. The N-specification brandings include: N-0 (N-zero), N-1, N-2, N-3 or N-4. These markings on a tire's sidewall clearly identify them as approved by Porsche for their vehicles. The N-0 marking is assigned to the first approved version of a tire design. As that design is refined externally or internally, the later significant evolutions will result in a new generation of the tire to be branded with N-1, N-2, N-3, etc., in succession. When a completely new tire design is approved, it receives the N-0 branding and the succession begins again."

So the N4 should be a bit better than N3 in the Mitchelins.
