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

Here is what we are throwing on the winter 20" wheels. I prefer the Ice-X but these worked better for me than the scorpion when blasting up the ski roads. Ordered winter set a couple weeks ago, but not sure when I will see them. Running 21" Off-roads in the summer with hi perf summer rubber.

Update, wintwr wheels and tires were in at parts today when we signed our lease. Car not ready yet, but will be next week. Took similar configuration out for test drive. Plenty nice and comfortable as well.

Congrats on signing the paperwork, almost there!
Mind sharing the terms of the lease?

It's so bad I can't bear to share it. .0039 on money factor. 3 year 12000 miles. No money down though.

Eesh… how much is that a month and what was the MSRP?

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 test of winter tires helps?

I was under the impression that summer tires are softer, therefore stiffening the rubber in the colder months.

I looked it up at at the tire centre and this is what they write:

“The 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 slide over the asphalt, instead of the rubber making contact with the contact surface.”

“At low temperatures the winter tire remains soft and flexible, which means it deforms more easily in cold temperatures, creating more grip. The winter tire also has a coarser profile. If you look closely you will see that the profile has very small slats, a kind of scoops, that can grab and remove more snow. A disadvantage is that due to this softer rubber composition, winter tires will wear harder at higher temperatures in the summer and will make more noise while driving.”

You’re right for the second part, summer tires stiffen in the winter.
Winter tires however have a softer compound, that’s why the don’t stiffen that much in the winter.

I got pirelli p-zero pz4’s on my 21’s. Haven’t seen those in any posts so far.
