Keeping my fingers crossed that my car comes with Michelins but feel that the chances are low. Having said that the P Zeros were surprisingly good last week around Silverstone in the wet and at low temperatures.

Unfortunately, at the present time, the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV range doesn’t cover 20” or 21” wheels.

Continuing the new Gen3 S theme mine came with Pirelli P Zero. They are tyres and they work.

I had 21” P Zeros on my last Macan but they were rubbish on even a dusting of snow. However the 20” P Zeros that were on the S wheels that I drove last week had plenty of grip in the wet.

My RS6 had Pzeros on it when I bought it, they were shockingly bad, as bad as Bridgestones which a group of us named Tombstones cause they were that dangerous.
Don't think I'll ever by a Pirelli tyre again based on that experience.
