Per other thread, my favourite tyre.

Do they present warranty issues on a Taycan?

Oh. I thought you meant the PS4 all seasons like on the C8.
Let me know when those are available.

I'm actually really curious to hear what you think, though I'm still quite far away from wearing out the O.E. continentals :D

The problem with fitting tires specced for another manufacturer is that tires like those are designed specifically for their suspension tuning. Throw them on the Taycan and their flex might be totally wrong for the car. Not necessarily a safety issue. A performance and comfort issue.

Excuse my ignorance but aren’t we supposed to only for tires that are marked for electric vehicles. I understand these tires are supposedly ranked very high but wanted to confirm.
There are very few tires specifically designed for EVs, think Michelin has one releasing right now (Pilot Sport EV).

There are however tires that are OEM spec, and designed for certain applications, like Michelin Pilot Sport 4 in NF0 Porsche Spec, which only fit the Taycan in Porsche's model lineup. I do wonder the magnitude of the differences, as is being discussed above. Chiefly I'm curious if Porsche prioritized optimized rolling resistance to help increase range...

My understanding is the NF# tyres for Taycan have a re-enforced sidewall to handle the additional weight of the EV.
+1 including the summer performance Pirelli NF0’s on my 21”wheels which btw have been excellent to date.
