I have been very impressed with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. With that said, why not trust that "N" and go with the approved. For me, it's a peace of mind. (Spending a few more bucks for the "N" comes with the territories of Porsche driving, unfortunately.)

Thanks for the information, Loren. I still wonder, though, how how many tires are tested and then rejected and which companies do not submit tires to Porsche for testing (if it works that way). I just bought a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics and from what I've read they are very similar to the often vaunted Michelin PS2s but are not N-spec. I wonder if they were tested and rejected or just not tested? I guess I'll never know. :-)

yeah, I got mine programmed (a US car brought up to Canada). They come on upon starting.

I got 20k on my first set of tires, Pilot Sports. I now have PS2's on my 2006 987S. They are great, but I don't see any difference (yet) vs. the PS.

Umm...Good info to know. Thanks. Mine is running around 24,000 KM. Always wonder what life expectancy I can get from them. With that said, I am impressed with the Sports' overall performance.

I have only had experience with the Michelin Pilot Sports and Pilot Sport PS2's on the boxster. Liked them both, but hands down prefer the PS2's.

I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sports on my '06 now. What makes the PS2 that much better? Also what is the average life span for the Pilot Sports (I don't track my car).

Thanks.

On that note, I would like to get consensus on how much it would cost to activate the DRL. My local dealer wants almost $300 to activate it (which I think is over-priced since it should take minutes to program).

Appreciate any input on this topic.

Thanks.

Where are you located?

I will do it for free if you are local.

Thanks for your generous offer...but I am located in Toronto, Canada. :-(

Amazing how the dealer never even asked for the model of my car and just quoted me a price. Amazing...
