This is the last Macan N approval all season tyre list as at 2017

It does not appear to rule out use of V's for GTS and Turbo only applying condition 1) Not GTS/ Turbo to the 18's.

The approval list sheets gives a speed limit warning when I run my S on winter 18's with a V rating of the 150mph limit!!

I see that Halfords are offering them in Y-rated and with the N0 mark......

You learn something every day on this forum. I probably have the same document that you used for your photo but as it is titled "Overview winter tyres for current vehicles", I thought the Macan Winter Tyres page was the last. Lo and behold there's a page beyond that listing All Season Tyres. Thanks for the correction.

As a "point of order", the tyre featured in your picture is the Latitude Sport 3. ;)

Correct.

The list above is/was wrong. Michelin describe their Latitude Tour HP as a Summer tyre, "MICHELIN on and off-road touring summer tyre" here:

https://www.michelin.co.uk/auto/tyres/m ... de-tour-hp

PIRELLI SCORPION VERDE ALL SEASON is the only all season I could find at Tyreleader: https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/ ... 06v-750584

Available in both 20" sizes, N0 marked, V rated.

Not being a fan of Pirelli, I think I'd rather have a Michelin summer tyre. Shall we start again?


...anyone tried the GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 SUV ? (Summer tyre).

I really rated the F1 A2's on my TTS and 981 until the latter front tyres were found to have splits all the way around the inside of both fronts, near the rims, spotted at MOT (fail)...

Goodyear coughed up pro rata to wear.

Yes, as 20” was delivered standard on my 2020 GTS. Better than the 21” Pirelli’s on my previous Macan. Better wearing than the Pirelli and around £50 cheaper than a Michelin. Although I think the Michelin's outperform for longevity, just overpriced.

I agree. My 981 is on PS4S after the F1 A2's. The Goodyears were more compliant for a non boy racer. The stiffer PS4S sidewall would no doubt be better on a (dry) track. Michelins generally perform well all round including wear.
