New tyres day, finally. Picked up a nice bit of damage on the front left just days before too!

Full set of 21" Michelin, all in for £785.26 at Black Circles who currently have 15% off their already reasonable price.

Not sure the local fitter understands tyre pressures but they did the important part!

What model Michelin did you get? I've read that US owners have been able to grt PS4S tyres for the Macan.

Latitude 3 is the only N rated model in the UK. Fine for me.

Really hoping mine comes with Michelins from the factory.
I'd always been a Goodyear man but the last 2 sets of F1s had split (superb apart from that), so went with PS4S for a month on the RS6 and they were good.

Got PS4S on the wife’s S3 Sportback after two sets of Conti’s and the Michelin’s are much better in every respect.

Out of interest, how many miles did you get out of the Pirellis?

That's a very good price! Does that include fitting too?

N0, N1 or N2?

I am having 4 x 21" Michelin N2 fitted next week. I thought £880 was a good price but obviously not!

Just had my rear 2 tyres replaced due to one of them being punctured by what looked like shards of metal. The tires still had about 4mm tread but the puncture was not repairable so I got both replaced.

Previously (as pointed out by my OPC on a couple of occasions) the front tyres were N0 and the rears N1. So I took the opportunity to get N0s fitted to the rear so all the N ratings now match. How critical this is I don't know, and seems odd to replacing a revised version of a tyre (N1) with an older version (N0) - but I don't want any warranty quibbles and couldn't afford to go N1 all round.

Anyway, new rear tyres are Michelin Latitude Sport 3 (N0) 295/35 R21 Y (103) and cost £387.30 for the pair all inclusive from Blackcircles, fitted at an Halfords service centre.
They did a pretty good job - tyre pressures correct all round too.

I'd be interested to know, 15k miles and mine are nearly down to the wear strips.
