Tires on my Porsche are $500 a pop. Brake pads are $200 max for the Brembo brakes on it.

This includes labor or just parts?

Porsche require you fit special N rated tires if you want to keep your car in warranty.

Well, no, it's not a warranty question, but if you want to trade the car in (or if it's a lease), the dealer will make you install N-rated tires at that time. Otherwise they can't sell it as a certified pre-owned vehicle, which costs them (and you) a lot.
