Getting new tyres fitted in a couple of days.

My Macan S has air suspension, is there anything I need to do before they jack it up to remove the wheels? Should it be left in normal mode, off rode mode, or lowered?

Air suspension has to be turned off before jacking the car up.
Hold down the the level selection button and self levelling deactivated comes up in the right hand display, there is info about this in the manual.

If air suspension left on when jacking up, the car will try and level itself and jump off the jack!! :o

Thanks guys, most appreciated.

If anyone is interested, my Pirelli P Zero's have done 19,000 miles. The rears are right on the limits and he fronts probably have a couple of thousand left on them but decided to replace them all as I'm off to Germany on Sunday.

Winter tyres are not necessarily a legal requirement, as long as you do not drive in 'wintery conditions'. Best to brush up on the local laws before travelling.

Is it snowing in the UK already?!? :shock:

Here in southern 'New England' (USA) we're getting frosts some nights - no snow
at the lower elevations - yet...

...in the process of getting snow tires mounted on my winter wheels (20" black Spyders).
Still running my (recently renewed Conti) summer tires (21" platinum Classics).


Cheers!

:D

At the risk of starting the "when to put the winter tyres on" debate again, I thought the trigger was "below 7 degrees C" rather than a snow forecast. ;) and it was below zero here (Surrey) last night.
