Don’t think you can get a Porsche with non low profile tyres.....??

The “sense” is the handling advantage they give......

Macan on 18's could easily be described as non low profile or even 19's could as in car terms walls of 50 or 55 would hardly be low profile. Certainly, 20s with walls of 45 in car terms might meet that description and 21's with walls of 40 certainly do. I have driven Macans on 18s, 19s and 20s and the handling improves as the profile reduces as the size increases

A quick update for anyone following this thread.

I went ahead and purchased a turbo 20 inch winter wheel set from Porsche.. Got the rims sprayed black to match my 21inch wheels.. Stuck them onto the car.

Have to say, love them. No more dragging /skipping, improved handling in the cold.. Nice ride also.

Job done..
