Just checked my tyres this afternoon on my 2015 Macan SD on 20” all seasons with 20,700 miles- all four were bang on 5mm which I am pretty happy with. Also got first bit of snow this afternoon with temps at just 1c. Would definitely recommend all seasons .

So 2206 means the tyre was made in the 22nd week of 2006. You should never use tyres over five years old whether or not the tyre is being used, as the rubber in a tyre degrades over time."
Thanks for that Steve - useful to know. I'll check for those date stamps tomorrow. πŸ‘

In this example 0304 translates as week 3 of year 2004. So manufacture date of January 2004.

Got "2016" in a box on my Sept 2016 delivered Pirellis Steve - so presumably that means May 2016 manufacture rather than just 2016 πŸ‘

Which/whose all seasons? If I may enquire... as I was looking for a Porsche N-Rated All Seasons but can only see Summer or Winter options.

I have the 20” Michelin Latitude Tour HP all season tyres on my 2015 Macan SD which I also had on my 2014 SD as well. Excellent grip in both Summer and Winter. Very quiet and comfortable.

Recently replaced one of my fronts.

OPC tyre man said if there was less than 4mm on the other tyre (on the same axle) they would need to replace that one as well. I doubt that would be covered by the insurance though.
GTS \o/ - sold :(
