Larger Tires for Mission E's

[JS4S]

All, I ordered my Taycan 4S with all season tires. Its now Spring(ish) in Ohio and I'm thinking about swapping to some summer rubber. I was originally looking to order a new set of wheels and tires, but I have been unable to find anything that I like more than my gloss black Mission e's. So, instead of the factory 265/35r21 and 305/30r21 I was thinking of the following:

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
275/35r21 103Y
325/30r21 108Y

Pirelli P Zero (PZ4)
275/35r21 103Y
325/30r21 108Y


Has anyone done this already or something similar? Am I going to need to use spacers for the additional width?

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is not NF0 for 21" rims (yet).

You are correct....I meant to add the PZ4's as well. They are NFO

Which should stop no one at all from fitting them.
They are excellent.

Unless the dealership is unfriendly and might use it to negate a warranty claim for a broken/deflated air suspension bladder... Never underestimate dealerships

Why on earth would you want to go any wider than a 265/305 combination? The car already has more grip than it can use and all you’re going to do is make the steering heavier.

I wouldn’t change the size either.

It’s amusing to me someone is willing to change the size but won’t deviate from n-rated tires.

The size is part of the magical “certification” after all.

Thank you for your thoughts, fellas. Does anyone have experience running the tire sizes in question?

Don't tell me, tell Porsche.
I'm still waiting, like many other people.

Not sure how accurate this article is but if true, Porsche used the tire widths posed by OP (275/325) for the “performance kit”. Other sources did not support a deviation from the 265/305.

If you want to improve the look just go for 20mm high quality spacer. It will change the stance drastically in a good way.
Too wide tires is not a good idea. The 30.5 centimeters in the rear are already monstrous.

what tire size did you decide go with for your car?

 

[JS4S]

I have not received them yet…..but I actually ordered new wheels and tires. HRE 540’s 22x10 and 22x12 with 285/30 and 335/25. I’ll let you know my thoughts when they arrive.

Excellent. Thank you for the response. Please post pictures!
