Hi does anyone have any experience of driving on 18” Macan S wheels with Pirelli Scorpion winter tyres ?
I have been offered a set @ a very good price. So wondered if anybody had used them previously?

Thanks for that, I too have 21” summer, the 18” wheels I have been offered are the same as yours with Pirelli tyres ( similar thread depth) but are only £425, I doubt you would want to part with yours for the same figure.

I had just such a set as winter wheels for my Macan SD. Over five winters I covered just under 15k miles. They still had around 5mm of tread when they came off the car last June. They are still at the OPC and I'm undecided about putting them on the GTS. This is because my circumstances have changed and I no longer have to always be ready to travel to South Wales.
The Scorpions were brilliant in wet weather and gave me absolute confidence on the few occasions I had to drive through snow. I strongly recommend them. The taller sidewalls gave a softer ride than the 20" wheels I used in summer and the additional sipes in the tread meant that road noise was slightly greater but no annoyingly so. The set was £1800 new which may help you decide if the price you've been quoted is "very good".
