Porsche Tyres in Park Royal
Listed tyre sizes for 15 Porsche models and generations, each linked to its size page, fitted at our NW10 workshop with live prices online.
Most Porsches need two tyre sizes, one for the front and a wider one for the rear. A 992 911 Carrera S uses 245/35 R20 front and 305/30 R21 rear, and a 718 Cayman on 18-inch wheels uses 235/45 R18 front and 265/45 R18 rear. Your sizes are on the tyre sidewalls. Find your model below, then book at our Park Royal garage in NW10. Every tyre we fit includes balancing, a new valve and disposal of the old tyre, and the price depends on the brand and size.
Porsche tyre sizes by model
Sizes for 15 Porsche models and generations, cross-checked against tyre-maker and retailer fitment listings. One model often lists several sizes, one per wheel option. Fitment listings are a guide: the size on your own tyres, or on the placard in the door frame, is the one to match.

N0, N1 and N2: Porsche-approved tyres
Tyres approved by Porsche carry an N marking on the sidewall. N0 is the first approved version of a tyre in that size, and later approved versions are marked N1, N2 and so on. UK tyre retailers flag N-marked tyres as Porsche approved in their listings.
Check the sidewall of your current tyres for the marking before you order. If you want to keep the car on Porsche-approved tyres, choose a replacement that carries an N marking in the same size.
Staggered sizes: different tyres front and rear
Almost every Porsche sold from 2012 has wider tyres on the rear axle than the front. That covers the 911 (991 and 992), the Boxster and Cayman (981 and 718), the Macan, the Cayenne from 2018, the Panamera and the Taycan. The front and rear tyres cannot be swapped between axles, so each axle is replaced with its own size. The exception is the second-generation Cayenne (92A, 2010 to 2017), which uses one size on all four wheels.
The 992 911 goes further and uses different rim diameters front and rear: 20-inch front with 21-inch rear on the Carrera S, 4S, T, GTS and Turbo, and 19-inch front with 20-inch rear on the Carrera and Carrera 4.
Read the size from the tyre, not the model name
Some Porsches have more than one factory size for the same wheel diameter. The 971 Panamera has two 21-inch rear sizes, 315/30 R21 and 325/30 R21, depending on the wheel design. The 2024-on Taycan has two 21-inch sets, 245/40 R21 with 285/35 R21, or 265/35 R21 with 305/30 R21. Wheel options also vary between trims, so two cars with the same badge can need different tyres.
Before you book, read the full size from a front tyre and a rear tyre, including the load and speed index. A replacement must match or exceed the load and speed index for your car.
Alignment on a Porsche
Porsche rear tyres are wide and low-profile, from 265/45 R18 on an 18-inch Boxster or Cayman up to 325/30 R21 on a Panamera Turbo S, so they are costly to replace. Because they cannot be moved to the other axle, uneven wear cannot be evened out by rotating them. If one edge of a tyre is wearing faster than the rest, or the steering pulls or sits off-centre, have the alignment checked when you fit new tyres, or the new ones will wear the same way. We use Hunter equipment for four-wheel alignment, from £50.
If the steering wheel vibrates at speed, the wheels may need balancing, which we also do on its own. Balancing is included when we fit a new tyre.

Frequently asked questions
What size tyres does a Porsche 911 take?
It depends on the generation and wheels, and every version uses a wider rear tyre. The 991 (2011 to 2019) uses 235/40 R19 front with 285/35 R19 or 295/35 R19 rear, or 245/35 R20 front with 295/30 R20 or 305/30 R20 rear. The 992 (2019 on) uses 235/40 R19 front with 295/35 R20 rear on the Carrera and Carrera 4, and 245/35 R20 front with 305/30 R21 rear on the Carrera S, 4S, T and GTS. Check the sidewalls for your car.
What does N0 or N1 on a Porsche tyre mean?
It shows the tyre is approved by Porsche for that size. N0 is the first approved version, and later approved versions are marked N1, N2 and so on. UK retailers list N-marked tyres as Porsche approved.
Can I rotate the tyres on my Porsche?
Not front to rear on most models. The 911, Boxster, Cayman, Macan, Cayenne from 2018, Panamera and Taycan all use wider tyres at the rear, so each axle must be replaced with its own size. The 2010 to 2017 Cayenne (92A) is the exception, with one size on all four wheels.
What size tyres does a Porsche Macan take?
The petrol and diesel Macan (95B, 2014 to 2024) uses staggered pairs from 235/60 R18 front with 255/55 R18 rear, up to 265/40 R21 front with 295/35 R21 rear. The Macan Electric (2024 on) uses 235/55 R20 with 285/45 R20, 255/45 R21 with 295/40 R21, or 255/40 R22 with 295/35 R22.
What size tyres does a Porsche Taycan take?
The Taycan uses 225/55 R19 front with 275/45 R19 rear, 245/45 R20 front with 285/40 R20 rear, or 265/35 R21 front with 305/30 R21 rear. The 2024-on car adds a second 21-inch pair, 245/40 R21 with 285/35 R21. Cross Turismo versions use different sizes, so check the sidewall.
How much does it cost to fit a new tyre to a Porsche?
It depends on the size and brand, so there is no single price for every Porsche. Every tyre we fit includes balancing, a new valve and disposal of the old tyre. Book online to see live prices for your size.
