Porsche Panamera Tire Replacement - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Impressions

Porsche Maintenance Costs

Michelin Pilot Sport 4

I recently changed the tires on my Panamera, and today I would like to write about my impressions after changing the tires and driving around a bit.

The tires that our Panamera used to wear were calledPirelli PZEROIt was a "new" car. They were Porsche certified tires that were installed on the car when it was purchased new. After a flat tire the other day, all four tires were replaced with "Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AcousticIt was decided to replace the

The reason we chose Michelin was because my husband had previously switched his Boxster's tires from Goodyear to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and was very pleased with the performance of Michelin tires. At the time, my husband was

It's changed like crazy since I switched to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S! Maybe that's an exaggeration, but the lack of roughness seems to be on par with the Panamera. The handling is even more precise than before and the straight line stability is much better!

He said that if he had to replace the tires on his Panamera next time, he had definitely decided to go with Michelin.

However, in the case of the Panamera, it is not the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.Michelin Pilot Sport 4They will be the tires without the "S". Also, when it comes to Porsche certified models the size of the Panamera, the "acousticand the name "Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Acoustic N0This is "a model with a noise-absorbing sponge attached to the inside. This is "a model with a noise-absorbing sponge attached to the inside.

However, my husband said that he would make all four of them Michelin Pilot Sport 4.The flat tire was only on the front right tire, so why not just change that one?I asked my husband, "What do you mean?

Oh, no.If you do that, there will be a left-right difference.Yanno. Besides.Changing only the front tires means that the front and rear tires are made by different manufacturers.I can't do it, because it's not in my nature. If I'm going to replace them, I have to replace all of them.

And then I ordered them online at Rakuten and ended up replacing all four of them (blast). By the way, I did some research on the Pilot Sport 4 Acoustic.

Excellent wet and dry performance
Excellent control and response performance
Sophisticated premium touch design

Impressions of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4

After that, my husband said to me, "Now that you've changed the tires, why don't you drive the Panamera for a while? When I started driving, I thought to myself, "I've never driven a Panamera before.Increased lightness and an even smoother ride.The difference between Pirelli and the ones we had been wearing was not that great.

Pirelli must have been a good tire.

Rather, I was more interested in the "I'm not a Panamera" effect of driving a Panamera for the first time in a long time.I am again impressed by the Panamera's performance itself.The "W" part is bigger...the heft, the smoothness of the ride, the power of the acceleration when merging onto the highway, all reminded me of what a great car the Panamera is.

My husband, on the other hand, had some initial impressions about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

I feel more nimble now. Until now.It's as if I went from wearing heavy sneakers to slightly lighter sneakers.Yow. And I think the road noise is noticeably quieter. However, when it comes to ride comfort, compared to when I switched from Goodyear Asymmetric 2 to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my Boxster, in this case, I don't feel a big difference between Pirelli and Asymmetric 2.

This was the case.

    Even if you don't change the tires, just by changing the air pressure, the ride quality and sense of lightness will change considerably.
    This was a very informative tire review as both my Voxpa and Panamera will be due for tire replacement within the next year.

    I'm looking at a late 971 Panamera, PHEV of this, but recently I've been wondering if I should go with a Taikan.
    I am inclined to go for the Taikan when I experience the pseudo Taikan by driving the PHEV on the highway with only the motor in E-power mode.
    For me, I don't need the power of the Taikan up to the turbo, so the 4S is enough. I am now looking forward to see which one will come out first in Japan, the Taikan 4S or the 971 Late PHEV.
    I am also looking forward to seeing how Japan's charging infrastructure will change by then.
    I enjoy fantasizing about cars.

      Mr. Ishi.
      As you say, the air pressure changes a lot. I think tires are also very deep.

      >I'm looking for a late 971 Panamera PHEV, but recently I've been wondering if I should get a Taikan.
      Oh yes!!!
      But surely, when I get to this point, I would like to go all the way to Taikan, not to say hybrid........

      It is very hard to read whether the 971 Late PHEV or the Taikan will come first in Japan, I wonder if neither of them will be delivered in time for my Panamera's inspection...
      I wonder if that would be a different option...etc. We are also fantasizing about various things (laugh).

      Naya.
      Thank you for everything!
      >I feel that the best way for daily use is to install PASM with the basic standard inch.

      Indeed, we see the expression "hanging" is best in various articles.
      But it's really true, not everyone is a racer, and Japanese roads are not that fast, so in that case, I think the bare minimum is probably the best.
      (Especially for someone like me, the bare minimum is more than enough ^^;)
      I am also very interested in the bare bones 992 model.

  2. Mail order?

    Ordering from Rakuten...If you are so particular about your exchange opportunity, why not go to a store where you can see the seller face to face, instead of a mail order service run by who-knows-what?
