The lottery turned out wrong for me…
The tire lottery can be a good thing. It has caused me to live with tires I would not normally choose and learn that factory Pirelli summer tires on a Taycan Turbo S are significantly smoother and quieter than Goodyear N rated tires, even with sound insulating glass. The measured sound level may be nearly identical, but the noise pattern is more enjoyable.

I agree with many that Michelin are my first choice, but others work very well and sometimes better.

I’ve had 20” Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tires on my Tesla Y for years and they do offer great traction and a quiet ride.

One caveat is that they tend to wear down quickly after about 25K miles due to the extra battery weight of the electric car and become very noisy as the tread wears after only about 20K miles.

Did not dig the tires at all on our X5 in the winter. To much ice in our neck of the woods, actually frightened me a few times and i love winter driving. Swapped them out for X-Ice this last winter. Still have them mounted up if anyone needs a set for an X5 or similar in the beginning of Nov.

Made an appointment today to have my Bridgestones replaced by Goodyears for a reasonable price.
Good to read that the majority of members are satisfied with what is on the rims of their Macan. After next week I will be one of them.

How much is it going to cost you?
