Hardwork Tyres down to 4mm in theory you should be able to run them down to the legal limit of 1.6 mm,I know most don't but I'm sure we shouldn't need to replace them at 4mm to keep the ! Macan running correctly that to me sounds like an insult on your intelligence and total Bull sh*t. SteveW
Exactly.
Utter rubbish.
A significantly different rolling radius on one wheel MIGHT cause some difficulty. But equally worn tyres, I don' think so.
Suggest to them that you'll replace the tyres if they undertake to cover the cost if it doesn't work. Should find out how confident they are.
A bit surprised at your OPC Aardvark. Portsmouth very sympathetic to "issues" and keen to sort (they are Inchcape). I would not hesitate to copy Reading with problems if I felt they weren't being taken seriously.
An update on my juddering/hesitation and the situation with my tyres. I took the macan to the OPC myself so I could show the senior technician the problem. So on a very short road test it was unanimous that the Transfer box was at fault. He said that water can enter the box by the air vent and damage the plates. I now have the pleasure to wait a week for the new one to be fitted. I do get to drive a boring Volvo XC60 to bring me back to reality (sorry if anyone owns a XC60) My daughter chuckled when I picked her up from school. I used the sport mode, mmm no thrills there. I can't wait for my macan back.
I will let you all know if it fixes the problem. Cheers Al.
A good bit of advice there - if you've got an issue with the car always insist on you taking it out with a technician to demonstrate. A pain I know, but its the only way to ensure both parties are hunting the same problem. (To be fair, the dealership should offer / sugest this, but many don't)

A lot of the "upmarket" dealers are not keen on you speaking to the technician. I would always like to speak directly to the technician rather than speak to some stupid girl/boy (no offence!) who would struggle to open the bonnet.
Just left my 2015 SD at the OPC to have a new Transfer Box after 12,000 miles.
If you have any suspicion that you have a problem do not wait as I had a very bad experience when pulling out on to a major road (A52) the car jumped and stalled in the middle of the road. Luckily there were no cars near at the time.
OPC said this is very rare on Macans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
