Porsche Panamera Tire Replacement - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Impressions

Porsche Maintenance Costs

Try PS4 at Ashi Ari

After that, my husband wanted to do a proper review, so he went all the way to Ashiu early in the morning before work, peeled (broke in) the tires, and tried various things with the tires peeled (laugh), so here are his impressions.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Acoustic

air pressure (of tires)

The air pressure is the same as that of the Panamera Turbo's 21-inch summer tires, "Standard pressureThe Pirelli was a little more bouncy than the Pirelli, but it was a little more comfortable than the Pirelli. I would say that it feels as if a little too much air has been added. Perhaps it is because the weight of this tire is lighter than the Pirelli. This tire has a "Pirelli" tire.comfort pressureOr, if we go with standard pressure, it seems to me that another 0.2-0.3 bar or so lower would be just about right.

Difference from Pirelli

One obvious difference between Pirelli andFairly good initial responsiveness.It is. I agree, minus the fact that the Pirelli grooves were pretty much gone. At least Pirelli didn't move like this when the car was new. Michelin, on the other hand, did.When I turn the wheel, the front turns quickly and without a pause, and curves are very enjoyable.

grip (e.g. of hand)

I was really surprised when I drove the Boxster with the 4S on the Fuji Speedway.The grip on the Pilot Sport 4 system is pretty good.I think. Of course, if we're talking grip alone, a domestic runner's tire would probably be better, butThe grip while achieving this quietness, ride comfort, etc. is impressive.I think.

When cornering at low speeds with the Panamera Turbo's massive body, with about 1.1G of lateral Gs, the Pirelli was zipping along, while the PSM was slightly putting control.In the case of the Michelin, it turns as it is and shows no sign of idling even when exiting a curve with a considerable amount of torque.

I feel comfortable going around curves and the feeling of turning without any displacement is pleasant. I think I feel like I can properly use the Panamera's chassis performance.

Panamera, yeah!

Finally, my husband was

It's been a while since I've revved the engine and stepped on the Panamera.That's a really nice car.(LOL) The V8 engine is so much smoother than when it was new. I didn't think it would turn that easy until red. It seemed like it could still turn more than that.The potential of that engine is not like this.I think. I think they're still hiding their real power.
I wonder if this engine would be used in the new Panamera, which is a late model 971, or in other cars of the VW group, with higher power.

He said.
Panamera Turbo Wings

That's amazing - I don't feel quite as informed as my husband, but now that I've changed the tires, I'd like to take the Panamera out for a long drive once again, although I'm also concerned about the mileage.

    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?
