Listed below are tires and matching wheel rim sizes approved by Porsche in past years. These tires are no longer tested by Porsche:
Note for Dunlop SP Sport Super tires
Dunlop SP Sport Super D 1 and D 4 tires must NOT be mixed on one car, either independently or by axle.
The D 1 version is still available, but in limited quanities only. If fitting a complete set of new tires, conversion should be made to the D 4.
New tire instructions
Always use tires of the same make and type.
When changing tires of only one axle set, new tires should be mounted on wheels of front axle.
If replacing only one tire of an axle set, the difference in tread depth between tires must not exceed 30%.
General installation instructions
Always use new rubber valves or tubes when replacing tires. Rubber valve Part No. 900.265.001.50 Always coat tire beads with rubber lubricant when
mounting tire on rim.
Work sequence
-
install new valve stem and remove insert
-
install tire on rim and inflate to 4.0 bar (60 psi)
-
ensure tire is seated on rim
-
install valve stem insert and inflate tire to correct pressure
Tires and tubes
Do not use tubes and tires of different makes.
Tubes are not available for series 50/55 tires.
Tubeless tires should only be mounted with tubes in an emergency situation.
When installing tubes with steel valves make sure that the valve is screwed in only after the tire has been inflated. Do not twist the valve.
If necessary, 215/60 R 15 tubes fitted with steel screw valves (Pirelli or Dunlop only) can be used for the installation of 185/70 VR 15 tires on 7J x
15 rims. On pressure cast rims with a cast valve boss, the cover or nut of the bottom venting ring can be removed to ensure sufficient thread length
for installation of the screw valve. It is essential to install the venting ring itself so that air can escape from between the tube and rim.
