Michelins. I have Latitude Sport 3 on the Macan. They are renowned for long lasting too. Current offer via selected retailers (sent to me by RPM yesterday):

Both Pirelli PZero and Goodyear Eagles failed on my 981. Both types were faulty and the tyres either cracked or split. Both manufacturers accepted this and refunded.

What pattern? Do you drive mainly on straight roads and / or motorways?

Interesting comments and Michelins seem the way to go. I am surprised my rears have gone at 20K but there is plenty left on the fronts.

I remembered Latitude Tour HP was an all-season tyre option on the configurator when I got my Gen 1 GTS. But, the Michelin website states that it is a summer tyre with 'mud+snow' logo on it. Does it mean that it is something in between summer and all season tyre?

It was sold years ago as an all season but unlike what I call a modern all seasons does not meet the Mountain flake symbol test needed for winter use in Germany, Hence, they dropped the all season labelling as it was becoming confusing. The Tour HD does seem to have exceptional longevity hence my question when a forum member says 44k on Michelins without saying which Michelin

I think they may be a bit quieter but hard to say, all depends on the road surface but quite acceptable whatever. I bought 4 Latitude Sport 3 tyres N2 rated with a £100 cashback offer from Michelin for £1100
