Like Jonmacan I have Summer for Summer (and Spring/Autumn) and Winter for Winter. Added bonus is I get to look at the 21 inch 911 Turbo wheels hanging on the garage wall every day, to remind me of what is to come end March time!
think if I hung my 21"summer wheels on my garage single skin wall they'd be on the floor the next day. Or the wife would be hanging things off them. Safer in my OPC I think
I have a quick question - I ordered all season 20" spyders, and rather stupidly I can't work out if the Pirelli P Zeros I have on the car are actually all season or not? Is there any way of telling with the P-zeros? If I have summers instead of what I specifically asked for, what would be the possibility of having them changed gratis?

Tread pattern should let you know. Summers Michelin Latitudes and Goodyear All Weathers. EDIT - both 19's and N Porsche approved.

Try telling that to the weather - I didn't bother switching to the winters last year as it never really dropped cold enough around here to make a huge difference (I am sure that would be different if I was much further North). A few years ago the car I was driving had all season tyres on - I only had trouble a couple of times when temperature was below -10 C and neither serious. .............
I believe the highest rate of wear on summer tyres is during the cooler winter months when the rubber compound is more prone to slipping. Winter tyres wear too but at a much lesser rate than summers would. For years I have been able to get a lot more mileage out of my summer tyres by swapping over in November when the temperatures in the South East tends to drop enough to warrant the swap.

Conversely, winter tyres wear quicker in the hotter summer months.
So perhaps All Seasons are a good compromise, and may be less expensive - my Goodyears were £120 for fronts and £146 rears NO rated from Oponeo for 19's plus fitting. Bigboyrolo2017-01-23 17:10:08

First check the order from you signed.
Assuming you actually ordered (i.e. on the order form) all season tyres I would have thought the chances of free replacement is 100%, assuming the car is brand new and you haven't covered thousands of miles. Might be a bit more of a negotiation if you driven a long way.
If you asked for them and it's not on the order form you're going to need to demonstrate that you did indeed request them (email, porsche code, letter etc) and the OPC failed to put them on the form. Going to be problematic if this is the case as you should check the order form.
