Hi All,
Would like some advice / opinions please;
Front 2 tyres need replacing along with 1 rear. The remaining rear was changed about 8 months ago due to slow punture / wear so still has plently of tred but has had a punture repair carried out on it.
All 4 typres are Pirelli P Zeros. NO fitment.
Do i change all 4 to a different brand, if so whats the best out there in terms of value / durability etc. Do i go with summer or all seasons?
Do i stick with Pirelli and change 3 tyres?
If it helps the alloys are 20' turbo (black with diamond cut face).
fronts are 265 / 45 / R20 Y
rears are 295 / 40 / R20 Y

Definitely change 4 , Gooyear Assymetrics get good reviews and are the cheapest NO rated.MacanPNeil wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:51 pm Hi All,

I’d get 4 new tyres. If you have summers stick with them, if all seasons - then depends on how happy you have been with them and the overall driving conditions you experience through the year.
I’m a habitual buyer of Michelin. Usually their most sporty road tyre (not the semi track ‘Cup’ tyres) and I have been very happy with them. Not always the cheapest but I have found that a set lasts in excess of 20,000 miles despite being on heavy M cars and enthusiastic driving.

I would replace all 4 and if you've got the room to store it, keep one as an emergency spare.MacanPNeil wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:51 pm Hi All,

Are you happy with the Pirelli? grip / handling/ braking / longeveity? If yes, then stay with them.
Stick with "N" rated tyres, especially / essential if your Macan is still under a Porsche warranty
MICHELIN [potentially] are most durable, but are the most expensive. I got circa 20,000 miles with them with 19" on my SD.
I have 20" GOODYEAR on my GTS and I am somewhat suprised at how good they are. Prehaps a little more road noise, but grip / handling / braking are all very good. On current milege covered vs. tread depth remaining, they will acheive similar life to the MICHELIN. This despite more power and the sharper GTS handling and braking performance. AND they cost less than the MICHELIN to buy.
Do shop around, as prices vary considerably depending on the source. A good online bench mark is BLACKIRCLES and / or CAMSKILL and suprisingly HALFORDS [they also own NTA etc].

Also worth getting a price and seeing if your OPC will match it. Sheffield did this for me, well almost, could only get within £10 of Costco, but they were less hassle and nicer surroundings!

There are currently no All Season tyres for the Macan with Porsche N rating so stick with summers. I'm surprised you got away with changing one tyre on the rear six months ago if the other tyre on the axle now needs replacing.MacanPNeil wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:51 pm Hi All,

You haven't said what mileage you've got out of your existing Pirellis. If you're happy with both performance and wear rate, I would stick with Pirelli.

There are, as Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season are listed as being available in Porsche NO approved rating, in both 265/45x20 and 295/40x20 sizes, and both sizes available within 2 days from Camskill.On-Track wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 4:34 pmThere are currently no All Season tyres for the Macan with Porsche N rating so stick with summers.MacanPNeil wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:51 pm Hi All,
