Fighting Steering / Wandering

[RGS]

I had same problem with 21" Continentals from new, but recently changed to 21" Michelins and the difference is chalk & cheese. The Michelins are superb, no fighting with the steering wheel on poor surfaces, steady as a rock and just back from 150 miles of torrential rain on M25 and A1 and I have total confidence with grip on wet surfaces.

I can't answer for Pirellis, but my son has them on his Cayman and he is not impressed with them at all.

I’ve had my Gen3 S for three months, it replaced a 2019 Gen2.
It has standard 20” wheels with Pirelli P Zero
Old car had 19” wheels with Continental Sport Contact 5 fitted

I’m 3000 miles in now and find the new car wanders on some road surfaces & far more steering input is required everywhere than the previous car. Has anyone else noticed this, I was beginning to wonder if the steering assist wasn’t working quite right.

I have to agree, 2000 miles & two months in, my new Macan S feels how you have described... less precise than my Cayman (understandable) or BMW340i that it replaced. Just feel like it needs more driver input than other cars I drive. I'm also on standard 20" rims and P Zero tyres, I put it down to the Air Suspension, are you running on steel or air springs?

I'm 3 months in and felt the steering to be "light" , not as direct as my previous C class. I checked the tyre pressures and they were set for full car loading, I dropped the pressures to 34 & 37 and it feels much better,more in touch with the road.

I wish in the App they showed the exact tyre pressure per tyre like the Merc one does. -3 etc from target is pointless as there's a range of targets

I check mine in the car, don’t know how accurate the readings are tho….

The target depends on what you set the tpm to. 20" summer no load = f33 r36. So - 3 means the pressures are 30/33..

Is that set using the settings options in the car?

Yes

It's all covered in the Tyres & Wheels section of the Porsche Good to Know app. There is a video on thw settings there too.

My MFD just shows an option Full Load with an unchecked tick box which I assume means partial load.

So is it the lowest tyre pressure on this plate that constitutes partial load? The manual is clear as mud.
