The Michelins have been upgraded to N2 and IMHO the best buy. I swopped my original Continentals for Michelin N2s, the difference was noticeable and they were well worth the extra price.
Porsche must have a deal with Pirelli as most new cars seem to come with Pirellis from new.

Re: Speed limit indicator
Surely if you get the OPC to install the software as a retro fit it would be a lot cheaper than Eu 400 from a third party? I have Google maps, the Porsche map or Waze to select from, they all show the current speed limits because I get frequent map updates, but I mainly use Waze because of the addit...

Re: Macan - a sports car, a hot hatch, a luxury cruiser or ???

Here are the dimensions in mm, courtesy of https://www.automobiledimension.com/ F-Pace 4747 x 1936 Macan 4726 x 1922 Stelvio 4687 x 1903 So the Macan is bigger than the Stelvio and the F-Pace is only bigger t...

Re: Insurance shock
The problem of course is keyless entry, I had it on two Mercedes but not on my Macan and don't miss it a bit. The cars involved are Kia and Hyundai and apparently the cars themselves send out a signal looking for keys ! Can anybody say what advantage having keyless entry actually gives you, on the M...

Re: Different Tyres Fromt & Rear? Problem?
I had Continentals from new, they were awful. The fronts wore much quicker than the rears and at 13k miles when they were down to 3mm I sacrificed the rears at 5 mm to get N2 Michelins all round, best tyres ever. My son sacrificed two Pirellis on his Cayman GTS for Michelins and swears by them.

Re: Different Tyres Fromt & Rear? Problem?
If you have already been advised to replace the rear tyres it's a no brainer, I personally would not mix the tyres for a different make but stick to the N rated Pirelli's

This was the price that VW group paid to be able to sell on the Chinese market. You will find your Macan Chinese component und...

Re: Car Insurance ( Again)
Had a shock this morning from my insurer "Direct line" to say they would not offer to renew my policy. When I enquired why, they said my vehicle (Gen 2 Turbo) does not comply with their criteria, plus no doubt my age ( just turned 79), although that wasn't mentioned. I did say it wasn't a...
