Try selling a 911 without N rated tyres in the UK. UK Porsche dealers will deduct the price of a set of N rated tyres from the price they offer since they are required to fit N spec tyres to the approved used cars they re-sell.

That's just one good reason.

Yes, I have looked at the specs. I checked when I last changed my own tyres.

You may drive only on public roads but other people drive their cars on the track where maximising grip is important. All season tyres do not offer the same level of grip at the limit as max performance summer tyres.

And the last time I changed my tyres, there was no material price difference between the N spec and non N spec versions of the Michelin PS2 Pilot Sport tyres fitted to my car.

I don't spend money blindly so you're making a wrong assumption there. And I don't find your advice sensible for my needs. You are simply justifying the compromise that suits your needs and your pocket. Other people do not have to agree with you.
