The Michelin summer tyres are good. I got 18000 miles on the OE 19" ones on my SD with 3mm remaining all round.

The Michelin All Season ones were even more durable, but no longer available in N.

My GTS came OE with 20" Goodyear. So far they are wearing slower than the Michelin and more evenly. They will not be as costly either, like for like size wise.

Yes I have just discovered Michelin have an offer, £100 off if you purchase 4 tyres 19"and over until 31st May. I also checked Good Year, but it seems that they don't do N0 in 21" size, so the only choice is Michelin, Pirelli or Continentals.

I thought some Macans came with Goodyear from build as of last year?

There used to be both 20" Michelin and Pirelli all seasons with N approval. Since the "winter" tyre law introduction in German they were becoming harder to see listed on major UK tyre websites and I have not seen either listed for sale recently and since that German law change Porsche do not appear to have given n approval to any new all seasons even those that meet the winter snowflake standard

My front 21" Continentals have worn twice as fast as the rears and now at 12.5K miles the fronts are pretty much down to 3mm which I think is a bit excessive wear.

Has anyone else experienced the wear on the fronts compared to the rear tyres ?

I'm now considering sacrificing the rear tyres that have probably got at least another 10k miles left in order to get a set of Michelins all round as they seem to give the best

Not for petrol cars, there were some with a rating suitable for diesel when I was looking a few years back.

If I'd had looked just 2 posts above mine I'd have know that cause, Steve had them. Thank you though.

I was very impressed with the Michelins on my Macan.
