Punctures with 21” wheels?

[Toddie]

OR a set of 19 inch winters....................

Or a set pf 18" Winters that are N rated

[Guy]

Maybe there is a good reason Porsche don't N rate a 21" Tyre? perhaps they don't work too well because they are too wide?

As far as I recall Macan 20 and 21" tyres are the same width (F 265, R 295)

Also Macan 18 and 19" tyres are the same width (F 235, R 255)

[Tracky]

So did we conclude that I won’t aquaplane with my big wide tyres as long as they are warm and not Pirelli.?

18" wheels don't fit Macan Turbo PP.

But not 21", which if you look @ my original reply was what i was talking about, i have no idea about 20" wheels as i don't own any. Just Saying

I’m looking at getting a Macan with 21” wheels, but previously had an RS4 with low profile tyres, and got two major punctures from potholes around London. I’m not very keen to go there again.

Have people experienced that with Macans on 21”? I don’t think the profile is as low as RS4 so hopefully it’s less of a problem.

Thanks

I haven't had any issues with the 21's I run in summer but I'd advise you to look for one with 20's. I run 20" Spyders in winter and they really are the sweet spot for this car, looks and comfort wise.

You said the 21" might be too wide. They are exactly the same width as the 20" - you do know that 21" isn't the width, right?
