Tire lottery - satisfaction measurement. What factory tires are on your Macan EV?

[nischalr]

Anybody order 22" wheels with summer tires? which ones did you get?

Tire rack reviewers like the Scorpions, they were the quietest of the A/S performance tires tested..

• What We Liked: The lively steering, test-leading noise comfort, the balance, it's all good.

I just heard from my SA that my 4S has arrived at the dealership and has 20” Pirelli Scorpion all season tires. I previously preferred Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires on my Tesla Y.

@toothsurgeon @quaxon How you like the 20” Pirelli A/S tires, particularly in terms of ride and road noise?

There are apparently several different Pirelli Scorpion all season tires. My Macan 4 came with "Scorpion MS" tires which are not the same tire as the one you are picturing (apparently a lot of Model Y's come with these tires, so I presume they are an EV tire, or come in an EV flavor). I have not challenged these tires much, but I can say they have an unpleasant, loud, singing resonance on asphalt at almost precisely 55 mph indicated. It's very specific, and disappears below 54 and above 56 indicated, so I try to avoid exactly 55 indicated. The problem is, when using the cruise control, when adjusting up or down to match a 55 mph speed limit, I frequently end up at exactly 55 indicated and then have to adjust up or down from that (and yes I realize that 55 indicated is really about 52-53, so I can adjust upward to match the speed limit). Odd to me that this would have been acceptable to Porsche.

So - while I'm waiting for my 4S with my requested SUMMER TIRES on the standard 20' rims - has anyone in the USA received this configuration - and if so - what tire did you receive?

Thanks!

I have no concerns. I may be less picky than others, though.

So what tires would be acceptable for a 21 inch wheels. If I decide to swap what all season tires would offer the best ride?

Do you want the highest performance all seasons that may wear quickly, or all season tires that last longer or are optimized for snow/wet traction? Or do you care, just want a tire with an all season that rides the best and quiet.

I don’t put on many miles. The main consideration is ride quality for my wife who has MS.

Yeah, it appears the 20” 4S wheels are being fitted with Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus tires as well as the newer Pirelli Scorpion MS tires with no warranty which are specifically made for EVs. After reading reviews, I’d prefer the P Zeros but won’t know which one I’m getting until I pickup my Macan on December 26th.

My Turbo came with Pirelli P-Zero's. Michelin does make the rear size, 295/35R22 but unfortunately apparently not the front size, 255/40R22. At least I can't find it anywhere. When/if Michelin makes both the front and rear sizes I will switch immediately regardless of the wear state on the Pirellis.

Thanks for the data point. It seems that Pirelli P zero elect and Goodyear F1 super sport are the only ones that are available and shipping for the summer spec. A pirelli Corsa is an option with the RS spyder wheels for the track/extreme spec if configured as such, but a little unnecessary for me.
I should have my car in a few weeks hopefully as it is on a boat currently. I will also switch out to Michelins regardless if and when they become available in the correct size.

20” 4S wheels with michelin pilot sport ev for me

Michelin does not make the 255/40R22 in a summer tire for the front but they do make the Pilot Sport 4S summer tire in 265/40R22 (and the correct 295/35R22 4S for the rear as well). I am not a tire expert so does anyone know if this is doable? Any negative effects? A small benefit might be that the slightly wider width may protect the rim from curb rash. After 3 months the only scratch on my Turbo is on the very outer edge of the front left rim from a track guard in an automatic car wash. I could see through the observation window the rim rubbing on the outer edge of the track as the car went by in the car wash. Maybe a little extra width on the tire might help protect the rims in the future?
I also initially specced the extreme summer tire as well but changed it just prior to the lock in.

I have to say after a few hundred miles with the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 (winter), I believe they’re quieter than the Michelin Pilot Sport EV (summer). I didn’t expect that

 

[ukdriver]

My Turbo came with Continentals!
I already had a puncture (less than 200 miles), and discovered it’s not a run flat tyre it went flat in about 2 minutes from me hitting the pothole. Yay. thankfully no damage to the wheel, by a miracle.

Plus, if you’re in and around London, driving in parts of the M25 is feels that you are living f near a subwoofer …. Bleeding awful cabin noise in parts of that motorway. It’s the same in my 911.

Porsche, why not run flat tyres??
