Porsche has worked with Michelin on the development of the new Panamera range of models, which will all be equipped with their tires in all regions and for all seasons – summer, winter and all-season tyres in 12 sizes.
The summer tire of choice is the well known Michelin Pilot Super Sport, which is characterized by three components: the aramid fibre belt, the Bi-Compound tread band and the Variable Contact Patch 2.0. The homologated sized for the Panamera range is:
The winter tire chosen for the Panamera is the Pilot Alpin 4, which integrates a new winter tyre design called Ridge-n-Flex, which involves combining a deep grooved tread and the HelioCompound 3G soft rubber compound which retains its elasticity even at low temperatures. The sizes for this tee are:
Finally, there's the all-season option which is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, developed for the North American market and designed to resist wear for long periods of time. Homologated sizes:
- Front (255/45 ZR 19 (100Y) PILOT SUPER SPORT N0(255/40 ZR 20 (101Y) PILOT SUPER SPORT N0
