Alternative classic tyre choices

[ImbackYo]

Has anyone tried alternatives to the ridiculously priced, soft as diarrhoea michelin tb15's?

There's a nankang SP7 which is similar in size, anyone tried it? Slightly taller wall, 50 instead of 40 but I can't keep spending £600 a corner every 5k miles!!

And where the tb15's are so soft, they're destroying the paint around the arches and under the car.

I don't track my car or drive it fast so see zero point in a soft compound.

Pirelli Cinurato CN36…it is what I believe the cars came on in period.

The one’s on my car are N5 rated…so Porsche are still testing/approving them.

What mileage are you getting out of them? Not bothered what porsche think, imo that's all a big scam. But that's a different thread.

Apparently not available in 295 width.

I've done about 12k miles on them....that includes a couple of track days and a day at Milbrook

Nankang are soft also.
Pirelli corsa rally tyre,put hard rear and med front,if you want miles or med rear soft front for more grip,great tyres.

P7s are similarly priced to tb15s, so the only benefit will be tyre longevity.

Nankangs are £115 each.

Somethings got to change as I'm now using my old thing everyday, and £2300 every 5k miles isn't on.
