New tires for a 928

Sooner or later, every 928 owner will have to buy a new set of tires. On my search for tires I entered the labyrinth of codes. And when I thought I had the right ones, doubt was created by ignorance, I was at my wit's end. Therefore for all others this page on which you will find almost always the right tire for your 928. There are of course many suppliers, but I only have the information of Bridgestone. Please do not see this as advertising. I hope to get other information soon. By the way, I recently bought four new Bridgestones Potenza S01-N2 and they drive fabulously.
For all people who do not own original 928 wheels, I also added a page with truly all standard Porsche wheels. It gives you something to look for, but perhaps you will find some useful information. Many thanks to Bridgestone/Firestone Benelux BV. BEWARE: We all make mistakes, me included. Always check the information. Sometimes tires are temporarily not supplied to the trade or replaced. Beware of the parallel marked.
