Panamera, flat tire again.

The other day, I was asked to write an article titled "I've been driving a Panamera for two years and it doesn't break down much.I just wrote an article called

Two years after delivery. Panamera (971) failure and defect summary

To my surprise, the Panamera suffered a flat tire for the third time. That day, after going to Ashiu, we went shopping and stopped the car at a supermarket, and at that moment, the warning came on.

Following the last puncture, we're back at it.Again, the right front tire was "-0.4"I don't remember stepping on a nail or a bolt. The other tires seemed to be fine, so I thought it was definitely a flat tire... I don't remember stepping on any nails or bolts, and I didn't drive right up to the back of the truck, so why was it right in front again? When I got home I told my husband.

Oh, no! Another right front tire? Maybe there's a nail or something that falls down every time I leave the parking lot of my house?

And...but if it was such a big nail, I would have noticed it before I got on the car. So I contacted Porsche Center later that day and brought the Panamera in the morning to have them check it out.

The last time I had a flat tire repaired, the wait time was an hour to an hour and a half, including an oil change, so I thought it would be about the same this time, too.

The store owner came to me and said something like this.

Due to tire deterioration.Gradual air leakage from a previously repaired flat tire.It was. At the last one-year inspection, I told you that the grooves on the front tires have decreased so much that it is time to replace the tires. Even if you repair the tire puncture this time, there is a possibility that the same thing will happen again. It would be better to have the tire replaced if possible, but let's see if we can repair the interior lining, shall we?

She said, "I'm sorry. I emailed my husband and he said, "For now, let's just ask for the interior lining to be repaired.Since he said, "I'm sorry," we borrowed a loaner car and headed home for the day.

Substitute car, Cayenne S.

."I didn't come here for an inspection, it was a flat tire, so the loaner car was whatever I could get in...When I said, "I understand, please wait a moment", Mr. H, who was in charge of our house, smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment. He came back a few minutes later and said, "We have a loaner car ready for you.

Cayenne S, isn't it?

If that's the case, I could leave the Panamera with him for a week and drive the Cayenne all the time...! I thought to myself, "If that's the case, I could leave the Panamera with them for a week and drive the Cayenne S all the time, but...!

The Cayenne S, naturally, is very smooth and easy to drive. I was again impressed by how light and nimble this huge car is. I have recently been driving a lot of nice cars, from German to domestic cars, and I am very happy to be able to drive them.You can't blame the beeswaxSometimes I think, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Panamera finally changes tires

I borrowed the Cayenne and went home in a good mood and said, "Since we're here, I think I'll take the Cayenne out for a run somewhere after lunch.I was thinking, "I'm sorry," etc., when the dealer immediately contacted me and said, "The tires were still badly deteriorated, and it was impossible to repair the interior lining.

I guess I'll just have to change the tires...

So, once I decided to have my husband deal with this issue, we decided to replace all four tires on the Panamera with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 at a later date.

And then, Mr. H, who was in charge of the Cayenne, came to pick it up right after that, so we had to part ways without having time to enjoy the ride...

Mr. H also said, "I'm sorry I came so early to get it...You said, "We were not originally planning to borrow it, and that is not an option.

And later, after the tires were changed, the Panamera came back to our house after a long time, but my husband

The tires on the Panamera are getting better. It rolls smoothly, and I have the impression that it is lighter underfoot. But compared to the previous Pirelli, it's not that dramatic. I guess the previous Pirelli P-ZERO was also a good tire.

He said. I think I might take the Panamera for a ride somewhere for the first time in a while. And I'll try to write an article about my impressions of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 later, after I've driven it a bit with my wife.
