Spartan1-6 replied to Spartan1-6's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Ok folks... so after considerable time researching i have discovered that the following are workable 18inch Michelin Crossclimate options for the 987 Boxster: Crossclimate 3 Sport F: 235/40 R18 Y (95) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) R: 255/40 R18 Y (99) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) Crossclimate 3 F: 245/35 R18 Y (92) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) R: 255/35 R18 Y (94) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) Crossclimate 2 F: 235/40 R18 Y (95) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) R: 255/40 R18 Y (99) (Speed Rating Y – 186mph) -
I learnt yesterday that the manuals are year-specific - there ARE differences.. it's not just the same manual covering the whole generation. On the spine and inside there is a code of which the last two digits (in bold) indicate the last two digits of the year of vehicle covered.. this one is an '05 version.. (i'm looking for an '08 version)..

To run these tyres on my 2.7 987.1 08 model, i would need to run the following sizes, as they are the only ones which make a 'set' that Michelin make in the CC3S tyres.. so would they work..? F: 245 35 R18 (10mil wider than standard) R: 265 35 R18

Hi all.. I've just bought my first Porsche.. 987.1 2.7l.. and love it. One of the things i was looking forwards to was buying a full new set of Michelin Crossclimates for it as i have used these tyres for years on other cars - and they're simply amazing. I was encouraged to hear about the CC3 'Sport' new releases, so was fully expecting to fit out with those... or so i thought... 😫 I have standard wheels, fronts are 235/40/R18, rear 265/40/R18. NONE of the Michelin Crossclimate range have 264/40/18. The front size - yes, but not the rear. Long story short.. when you go on Blackcircles, the ONLY Michelin tyres of size 265/40/R18 are: 1 - Pilot Sport 2 £185 2 - Pilot Super Sport Y(101) £198 3 - Pilot Sup😠😠er Sport Y(97) £279 ..????? The only matching front tyres are: Pilot Sport 2 £145. So... wanting to stay with Michelin.. i have only ONE options available to buy a matching set of all four tryes.. Pilot Sport 2... which is a 2005 tyre..!! I've thought about putting 19inch wheels on but my car is used daily, and i don't want too hard a ride.. and despite that.. the issue seems to be that 265 width which is the issue, and apparently Porsche say that no matter what you change wheel and tyre-wise, you MUST NOT change the width.. Michelin Crossclimate Sport come in most any width you want - so long as it's not 265..!! 😠😠😠 I have no idea what to do... i've ridden high powered MCycles most my life and understand the benefits of having a matching set of tyres... so is that it then.. am i stuck with using 20yr old tyre designs and using PS2's..!!??
