Just for info, GTS one year old, just under 11k miles and tyres at 4.5mm to 5mm.

Love the GTS black 20"s but a pain to clean.

in fact, still totally impressed with the GTS :D

Great to hear of happy GTS Macaneers! :D ๐Ÿ‘

I seem to be mile munching at a rate about 75% faster than you guys! Gulp! :shock:

I'm mike munching at a much slower rate, 3500 miles and a year old in about 3 weeks.

My wheels are 21" black classics, total dream to clean but the black gloss finish disappears to a Matt look after very few miles after washing.

Yeah, I loved my gloss black Sport Classics. Best looking Macan wheel I think. And yes, I recall that road dust seems to quickly dull the shiny gloss finish after cleaning. :(

Ha ha! :lol: I certainly am no garage queen! :shock:

Currently I'm on target for my 20k interim service after my first 12-13 months. Better start saving up for my next set of boots...! :?
