We got a flat tire on our Taycan RWD yesterday. I came outside and the rear right tire was completed deflated, couldn't even drive it to a gas station to get some air. No sign of a nail in it. My spouse was driving it before and insists there was no pothole involved (). I'm thinking it likely was a pothole or something on the road as we have had a really wild winter (by California standards) and there is tree debris and holes everywhere in our community from all of the rain and snow storms.
AAA were great - they got out to us in an hour and towed it down to our local tire shop. Unfortunately it's not repairable so it's now sat there waiting for 2 new rear tires to arrive on Friday. The mechanic said the rear tires were really warn (makes sense = RWD) so we were likely going to need replacements anyway.
All this begs the question - How many miles are you getting with your tires?
Our Taycan has 20 inch Turbo wheels on the OEM Pirellis from new with about 14,000 miles on the clock. We don't drive it that aggressively but do live up a mountain with lots of hairpin bends. Curious to know what everyone else is seeing.
