Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Nankang Tyre is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, tyre size, load and speed rating, and whether the tyre will be used for normal road driving, mixed use, or track days.

• Typical reasons to choose these tyres include running a second set for track days, replacing tyres on a budget, or fitting a matched set to stabilise handling without premium cost.
• Common issues that prompt inspection or replacement include increased road noise, quicker wear on softer compounds, tramlining on wider setups, and variable wet performance depending on pattern and compound.
• Practical checks include setting tyre pressures correctly (cold and hot), monitoring inner-edge wear with Porsche alignment settings, and checking for alignment or suspension problems if wear is uneven.

Tyres — Tyres in this category play a major role in grip, braking performance, and overall handling feel. Porsche owners typically replace them to restore safety, improve wet-weather confidence, or tailor noise and comfort levels, always ensuring the correct size and ratings where listed.

• Replace tyres in axle pairs where possible and keep the same pattern side to side for stable handling.
• Check pressures regularly and consider an alignment check if you see uneven wear or the steering feels off.

Tyres 16" — 16-inch tyres are common on many classic and earlier Porsche models. They are usually replaced to restore safe grip and predictable handling while matching the correct size, load rating, and speed rating for the specific wheels and vehicle.

• Match tyre specifications to wheel width to avoid sidewall distortion and poor handling.
• Consider an alignment check if you see inside-edge wear or if vibration and tramlining are present.

Tyres 19" — 19-inch tyres are typically used on higher-performance or later Porsche models, where sharp steering and strong grip are priorities. Replacement often aims to balance road noise, comfort, and wet grip on these low-profile setups.

• Confirm correct pressures and geometry before changing tyre model if you are trying to reduce tramlining or improve ride quality.
• Monitor for impact damage, such as bulges or flat spots, which are more common with low-profile tyres.

Track Tyres Nankang AR-1 — Nankang AR-1 semi-slick tyres are chosen by Porsche owners who want a more track-focused option for dedicated circuit use or fast-road driving where suitable. They are typically used on separate track wheels or as part of a more motorsport-oriented setup.

• Use them with careful pressure and temperature management to help maintain consistent performance over a session.
• Review tread depth, heat cycling effects, and any signs of stress regularly, as track tyres work much harder than normal road tyres.
