Hi Paul,
I noticed you had 19 inch on your SD. Any noticeable difference in comfort with RS spyders?
Tom.
Hi Paul,
I have no personal experience of the Tour HP AS. This maybe of interest - http://tyreselector.porsche.com/widget/gbOrangebulldog wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 9:03 pmThank you for the advice. Unfortunately Michelin does not make the Cross Climate in Macan tyre sizes. Only the Lattitude Tour HP AS. Any idea if these are any good?
Great tool, thanks!SAC1 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 9:50 amI have no personal experience of the Tour HP AS.

I would like your help in making the following choice:
So I drive a 2018 Turbo with the turbo exterior package. This includes the 21 inch turbo wheels (painted high gloss black on the inside).
I love the look, though the slightly harsher ride compared to 20 inch rs spyders that I testdrove, is spoiling it for me. I absolutely adore this car as my daily driver, but I drive 40.000 miles per year, mostly on long stretches (5 hours/day happens a couple of times a week), so I need comfort too, for when I’m on one of those trips. So I specced air suspension and noise insulating glass. Being able to put pasm in Comfort is great on highways, and once off the highway, I hit Sport or Sport plus and have some fun. But in Comfort, with these wheels, it feels a bit wrong: the suspension is nice and soft enough, but the low tires are too harsh on roadimperfections. And its ruining the perfect picture I have of the car.
I cant sell the wheels, because they are part of the package, so I need to have them if and when I sell the car. I have to get wintertires for winter here in Belgium. We don’t get alot of snow, but its sufficiently cold, wet and slippery to change to wintertires for safety and grip. For skiing trips or those couple of snow laden days, we have an AWD Volvo to put at risk on these roads. So the Macan shouldn’t really see any deep snow.
Now, with all this in mind, I’m pondering three options:
Option 1: michelin winter tires on the existing 21 inch wheels and buy new 20 inch RS Spyders with summer tires to use the remaining 8 months
Option 2: get RS spyders with all season tires and drive around in that all year round
Option 3: keep the 21 for 8 months on summers and buy a set of 19 inch turbo wheels for winter (narrower tire/higher sidewall for better wintergrip)
What would you do?
Thanks,
Tom.
