What are Porsche Approved Tires / Porsche Certified Tires?
For each of the various car manufacturersThere are "approved tires" and "certified tires"I wrote earlier that each car manufacturer collaborates with the tire manufacturer to carry out various tests and verifications, request a number of different items from the tire manufacturer, and create them.
Porsche N spec tires
Tires that have passed all tests and have been approved by the engineering department will be given the alphabet "N" and also "N" for certified tires, for example in the case of Porsche as "Porsche approved tires". The numbers "0-4" listed below are said to indicate the revised version of how many times the tire was certified.
In other words, "N0" (N-zero) indicates that it is "a tire approved by Porsche and the first newly certified tire" among the tires of that model, and it is "N1" ( When it comes to N-One), even tires of the same product will be newly certified tires due to the model change.
It's kind of confusing to write, but anyway, even with the same type of tire, it will be the latest version of the tire that has been newly certified in the order of N0 → N1 → N2 → N3 → N4.
Up to this point, it was the same as before.
Porsche N tire notation is now a two-letter alphabet depending on the vehicle model!
This is from this year! In addition to the "N" of the same Porsche approved tire, it seems that a "second alphabet" will be added to indicate which Porsche car model the tire is approved for.
In Japan, such a thing is not written anywhere yet, so I do not know when it will happen, but in the United States it is said that it will be from this year (2019). * Source information is at the bottom of this page.
Here is it ↓. "#" means a number, so 0-4 is entered in the place of #.
Notation of each Porsche approved tire N spec designation is:
- Porsche 911 Carrera is "NA"
- Boxster and Cayman are "NB"
- Cayenne is "NC"
- Panamera is "ND"
- Macan is "NE"
It will be.
In addition, these two alphabets are followed by a number from 0 to 4 that represents the version.
In other words, this ↓ is a Porsche approved tire certified by 911 Carrera even with the same Porsche.
It was written that 911 is "911 Carrera", but does it mean that all 911 models will be NA? ??
