Porsche N-Spec Tires Explained
Hennessy Porsche is your source for "N" Specification tires that are specifically designed to meet the stringent performance and durability standards set by Porsche. In collaboration with Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone and several other top tire brands, Porsche has developed a tire that will surpass all of your performance expectations because they were designed with you and your Porsche in mind. Your Porsche was made to perform and Hennessy Porsche will help you keep it that way!Design and Testing
Porsche designs and manufacturers some of the highest performance vehicles in the world. Because of the essential role that tires play in vehicle performance, Porsche has integrated tires in the design process throughout vehicle development. Porsche original equipment tires must successfully pass the tire company's laboratory tests, road tests and race track evaluations to confirm that prototype tires meet Porsche's noise, hydroplaning, handling and high-speed durability requirements. Only upon successful completion of these tests, will tires be released for production.
Branded as N-Spec
Production tires that have passed all of the tests and received Porsche's engineering department's release can be branded with an N-specification. The N-specification brandings include: N-0 (N-zero), N-1, N-2, N-3, N-4, N-5 or N-6. These markings on a tire's sidewall clearly and permanently identify them as approved by Porsche for their vehicles. The N-0 marking is assigned to the first approved version of a tire design. As that design is refined externally or internally, the later significant evolution's will result in a new generation of the tire to be branded with N-1, N-2, N-3, etc., in succession. When a completely new tire design is approved, it receives the N-0 branding and the succession begins again.
Mixing N-Spec Tires
Use only tire types tested by Porsche. Only tires with the same manufacturer and with the same specification code (e.g. "N0", "N1" …) should be mounted on the vehicle. Tires should be replaced no less than in pairs on one axle at a time. Only tires of the same tire make and type must be used. Since many Porsche vehicles are fitted with different sized tires on their front and rear axles, this requires matching the tire brand, tire name and N-specification front to rear. While the tire manufacturers may also build other tires featuring the same name, size and speed rating as the N-specification tires for non-Porsche applications, these tires may not be branded with the Porsche N-specification because they do not share the same internal construction and/or tread compound ingredients as the N-specification tires.
Replacing N-Spec Tires
If a vehicle was originally delivered with N-specification tires that have been discontinued and are no longer available, it is recommended to replace all four tires to a higher numeric N-specification design appropriate for that vehicle. In case of tire damage such as cuts, punctures, cracks or sidewall bulges that cause a single tire to be replaced for safety reasons, the remaining matching tire on that axle must not exceed 30 percent wear. If the remaining tire has more than 30 percent wear from new, it should also be replaced. This rule applies to all four tires on all wheel drive vehicles. Handling inconsistencies may result if this is not done.
Break-in of New Tires
Initially, new tires do not offer their full traction. Drivers should therefore drive at moderate speeds during the first 60-100 miles (100-200km). If new tires are installed on only one axle, a noticeable change in handling occurs due to the different tread depth of the other tires. This happens especially if only rear tires are replaced. However, this condition disappears as new tires are broken in. Drivers should adjust their driving style accordingly.
Tire Aging
Additionally, even though only the world's highest performance tires can earn the Porsche N-Spec approval, eventually all tires will either wear out or age out. The chemical additives that make rubber elastic lose their effectiveness in the course of time and the rubber becomes brittle and cracks. Considering the performance capabilities of a Porsche, under no circumstances should tires older than 6 years be used. Porsche dealers can recommend the most current replacement tire options for your vehicle.
How is a Tire Selected for a Porsche?
The tires selected for a Porsche are chosen based on the model (sports car or SUV)' and the job the tires are asked to do. The 997, 996, Boxster and Cayman S are examples of the world's finest exotic performance cars with some of the same capabilities found in previous generations of race-cars. For these vehicles Porsche selects Maximum Ultra High Performance Summer tires from the world's leading tire manufacturers: Bridgestone, Continental, Michelin, Pirelli and Yokohama. And since Cayenne puts the sport in sport utility vehicle, emphasis is placed on high limits of performance balanced with the utility demanded by the Cayenne owner. Pirelli Scorpion A/T All-Terrain tires are chosen for highway use in all weather conditions, including snow and cold climates, as well as for off-road use. Continental 4X4 Contact and Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires are designed for highway use in all weather conditions including snow and cold climates.
Bridgestone Turanza tires target a balance of performance and ride comfort for highway summer conditions. Continental 4X4 SportContact, Michelin 4×4 Diamaris, and Pirelli PZero Rosso tires are chosen for sports car-like handling in both wet and dry summer conditions.

Ding & Dent
Ding And Dent
Porsche Intelligence Performance (PIP), you may ask what this is? Every Porsche contains intelligent and advanced technology. That is fascinating, but is not an end in itself. It creates great emotions, but not at any price. The technology always embodies our desire for maximum efficiency, which was already a part of the first Porsche in 1948. That is our commitment. One of the technologies that has been implemented to accomplish this is extensive use of aluminum on the exterior of your new car. Aluminum is fantastic because it is lightweight, however it does make it more susceptible to dings and dents through your course of ownership. Dings are unsightly and take away from the pride and prestige of driving your Porsche.
What Does It Cover?
It covers the metal surfaces on your car such as the hood, front fenders, door, rear quarter panels and the roof of the car. If you have a ding or dent in your car up to 4” in diameter using the PDR method (paintless dent removal) it will take them out.
Benefits
- No cap on claims
- No deductible
- Removes dents or dings up to 4″ in diameter
- Average claim is over $200

Apex Protect
Vehicle Theft Is A Reality Today
Over 45% of all cars stolen last year were never recovered and a vehicle is stolen every 26 seconds in the U.S. Alarms and other deterrents are not enough. Security experts advise that just like your home you use layers of protection to ensure your safety. There is little one can do to prevent a car from being stolen however, with the Apex GPS recovery system you can take control and ensure that if your car is stolen, you’ll get it back.
Take Control With Apex
The technologically advanced Apex recovery system utilizes, GPS satellites, numerous cell phone towers (in the vicinity of your vehicle), to get an exact location. They will then contact the local authorities and assist them with Real Time Location to find your vehicle.
Why Does It Make Sense
Beyond the emotional stress and disruption to your daily and work-related activities, there are significant financial costs that you may incur if your vehicle is stolen. According to the FBI, although 75% of respondents know that there are costs associated with vehicle theft in addition to paying the insurance deductible and the cost of replacing the vehicle that are not covered by insurance, virtually none knew that there are additional costs such as insurance premium increases, the cost of time spent dealing with police, vehicle rental costs, and the cost of time off work...The survey was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation.
Disable It, Thieves Can't Even Find It
The Apex system is hidden in your vehicle. Other systems rely on a short visible antenna that can easily be broken off by a thief.
Guaranteed Auto Protection
If you finance a car and do not have significant equity then GAP insurance is extremely important to you. GAP insurance covers the remaining loan balance that a total loss insurance settlement may not. It will pay the outstanding difference and your deductible in the event of a total loss accident or theft.
Benefits
- Saves you from worrying about negative equity.
- Think about the price of the car, taxes, and possible negative equity.
- Deductible reimbursement.
- Provides affordable protection for you and your family from financial burden if your vehicle is declared a total loss.
- Can only be purchased at the time of sale.
When financing or leasing, you are responsible to make your payments for the full term of the contract–regardless of what happens to the vehicle. The EasyCare Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) program is designed to provide affordable protection for you and your family from financial burden if your vehicle is declared a total loss.
If your vehicle is totaled, the net auto insurance payout is often less than what you owe on the outstanding retail or lease contract. This is where GAP comes in–it will pay that difference, or deficiency, between your vehicle’s market value and the balance on your contract.
With the GAP program, the deficiency balance is paid–including the auto insurance deductible up to $1,000 (available in most states). Our goal is to provide you with the kind of protection that takes the worry out of your ownership. For additional convenience, GAP can be added to your monthly payment so you don’t have to write another check.
GAP is available only at the time of vehicle purchase.
This protection may be automatically included with your lease contract. Please ask you sales
consultant for more details.
What Your Auto Insurance Company May Pay
You may assume that the physical damage insurance you have is sufficient to cover any losses related to your vehicle. However, when a vehicle is declared a total loss, insurance companies will generally pay the market value of the vehicle less the insurance deductible, if applicable. This amount may be substantially less than the balance due on the vehicle.
How GAP Works (For Illustrative Purposes Only)
Retail or Lease Contract Payoff: $60,000
Total Auto Insurance Settlement: -$50,000
$10,000
Auto Insurance Deductible: +$1,000
Total Out-of-Pocket Expense: $11,000
Minus GAP Payment: -$11,000
Total Owed to Finance Company to Pay Off Retail or Lease Contract: $0
Vehicle Service Agreement
It pays to be prepared when unexpected problems arise. If you’re like many customers, you plan to keep your vehicle longer than ever before. This creates a growing demand for protection from the potential cost of major repairs beyond the standard factory warranty period.
A vehicle service contract reduces the uncertainty associated with the cost of owning a vehicle. If you are like many people and purchase a vehicle with the intention of owning the vehicle for four to five years, a service contract is something you should seriously consider. While most factories provide a 48 month / 50,000 mile warranty, the typical vehicle owner drives more than 12,000 miles a year. That’s why Easy Care developed Vehicle Service Agreements (VSAs), a series of extended protection plans for both new and used vehicles that provide coverage beyond your factory warranty. With various term/mileage plans available, you can select the plan that meets your specific needs.
The cost of repairing the vehicle can be financed at the time of purchase and included in your monthly payment. This reduces the chance of a big repair bill when you least expect it. Many people find themselves having to pay for these repairs themselves. The addition of the vehicle service contract to the monthly payment is typically very small and manageable.
Benefits
- The average person keeps their vehicle for 4 – 5 years.
- The average factory warranty lasts 3 years or 36,000 miles.
- The average person drives 15,000 miles a year, so most people are out of factory warranty after 3.3 years, if not sooner.
- The frequency of repairs increases as mileage and years increase.

Benefits
- Can allow you to keep your money and invest it.
- Guaranteed value at the end of term.
