    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    No, I had the same problem last week here in the Netherlands. Also Innodrive and all the alerts that are mentioned here above. After a stop of half an hour, the alerts have disappeared and I havenā€™t had them since then. Iā€™ll be alert and mention it if itā€™s coming back.

    Does your PCM set the clock correctly after DST change last weekend?

    The same with me Diego, I also had to change it as you describe. Strange for such an expensive carā€¦

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

    Do you mean: ā€œI canā€™t hear any tire noise in that toyā€ in stead of ā€œI can hear etc.ā€? With Michelins extra road noise shouldnā€™t be the case. As DOO said above, they were equipped on the test vehicles in media reviews, certainly not because they lack quality. Perhaps indeed the carā€¦ Letā€™s hope...

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

    Now that I read about rumbling, I have to say that I also heard this sometimes at lower speeds of 50-65 km (30-40 mls) with the Bridgestones. Not at the speed you mention. Perhaps the relative stiffness of the Bridgestones is a cause, it dampens less so that a resonance is more likely to be...

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

    I don't recognize the singing sound at these speeds. Certainly not with my Goodyears, but I don't remember it with the Bridgestones either. It could also be the road surface perhaps? It is crucial that you find out which type of tire was on the Macan. As you can see at the beginning of the...

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

    That could very well be the case. In the tests I always saw a whole lot of Michelins and that was really not because the introduction was in France...

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

    Yesterday my car came back from the dealer with the new Goodyears. It has helped, the driving pleasure of the Macan has clearly improved. The tires respond better to irregularities in the road surface. They cushion and are simply less hard and stiff. The sound also seems better, but I have to...

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

    I looked it up at at the tire centre and this is what they write: ā€œThe winter tire reacts completely differently than a summer tire to low temperatures. The winter tire remains soft and flexible, while the summer tire becomes stiff and hard. The grip and flexibility is gone, causing the tire to...

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

    Youā€™re right. In the EU also no information about winter tires in the configurator. I canā€™t even choose them. I had Michelin all-season tires on my ICE Macan once and I liked them. I think that would be my choice.

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

    Sorryā€¦ I made this table myself with the information about the different types of tires from the configurator. If you click on the tire symbol there, it opens and you can see the different specs. I guess it will do the same if you do this for 20ā€ all seasons.

    Own a Taycan - should I switch to Macan?

    I switched from a Taycan ST 2021 to a Macan 4 a week ago. The main reason is a much easier entry. I agree with everything Grizzler and Diego say. I've also had a lot of issues with the Taycan, including a hum. I have written a number of theaths about it on the Taycan forum. The Macan makes me...

    Delivery Day - My Macan 4 on 22” RS Spyder wheels - Lisbon - Portugal

    Beautiful! And you have the best tires with the Goodyears. I drove a demo 4 with this size rims and Goodyears on it and the tire filters out bumps very well. See my thread. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m going to change the Bridgestones for Goodyears on my 21" rims next week.

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

    I think that the composition of a winter tire is softer than that of a summer tire. If you do not experience that the Bridgestone is stiffer, this will certainly not be the case with their winter tire. However if you do experience it as I do, I would definitely choose a different brand. Maybe a...

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

    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.

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

    My Macan 4 was delivered last week. It turned out to be standing on 21ā€ Bridgestones. Clearly not my preference, because I always drove with Michelins on my BMWā€™s and also on my Taycan and previous Macan. In another thread I already wrote that the dealer wanted to change tires, but that would...
