Can you put any tires on a Porsche?
That is why there are tires specifically developed for your Porsche model by leading manufacturers to our specifications and marked with an “N” by us. Only N-marked tires are tested and approved by Porsche for their performance, handling and safety characteristics. The numbers following the N code: 0, 1, 2, 3 represent the various accreditations by Porsche over time. This means that N0 was the first tyre accredited. Thereafter, based on the modifications made on the tyre, this same reference is identified as N1, then N2, etc.

You can find your tyres’ speed rating on the sidewall of the tyre as shown in the image. You will find it at the end of the tyre’s size (the list of numbers on the tyre’s sidewall) always represented by a letter and usually following a number – in the following example the tyre speed rating is V. H-rated tires are thoroughly tested to safely handle speeds up to 130 mph, while V-rated tires show reliable performance at sustained speeds up to 149 mph, which is an important distinction for vehicles that travel at higher speeds. Shane N. Are you ready now to conquer the world of tire speed ratings?The choice between H and T tires is actually based on speed ratings: while H-rated tires allow a top speed of 130 mph, delivering superior handling and heat resistance. T-rated tires max out at 118 mph and thus favor durability and comfort for everyday use.For passenger vehicles, load index ranges from 75 – 105. H” represents the speed rating, which is how fast the tires can go based on their load capacity. This rating ranges from A – Z. H” indicates a speed rating of up to 130 mph.
