When I ordered my S I tried to spec the tyres to Goodyear as they have the quietest noise rating. SE said you get what you are given. I noticed that Omni's got Pirelli.
What have others that have taken delivery been fitted with?

I got Michelin Latitude Sport 3 on my Turbo collected a week ago. Should also say these are on 21 inchers ...

The title is correct if you understand the interrogative. There is choice but Porsche choose which brand is fitted not us. Why do they show it in the configurator?

I do not think they actually choose on tyre ability grounds, they probably just take the brand offering the size at the lowest costBluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:22 pmThe title is correct if you understand the interrogative.

At the moment from this thread they seem to be fitting Pirelli and Michelin. If cost were a factor they would award exclusivity to one brand and get volume discounts. However they have "N" spec and need more than one supplier. I would like to know if anyone has had Goodyear fitted recently.

The base Macan loaner I had last week was fitted with Goodyear tyres. Car makers like to have a mix of tyre suppliers, it helps to keep costs down.Bluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:39 pm At the moment from this thread they seem to be fitting Pirelli and Michelin.
