Finally: 21” All Season Tires For Aero Design Wheels -- Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season

[Fun TC Driving]

The 21’ Aero Design wheels are unique, narrower 245/45 by 9” & 285/40 by 11” wheel and tires than all the rest of the 21” Taycan’s 265/40 & 305/35 tires. Up until now there was no all season tires to fit the Aero Design wheels. However, Goodyear just came out with some: “Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season.” Since the Aero Design wheels are 1/2” narrower than the rest of the Taycan 21” wheels (both front and rears), they are the longer range ones, in fact getting longer range according to the French Taycan configuration site than even the 20” standard no-cost Taycan wheels. But the new Goodyear all seasons, perhaps Goodyear realizing that they are now unique, cost quite a bit more; yet if you want the Aero Design wheels and need A/S’, at least now there is a choice.

I still am getting the 21” RS Spyders…, e.g., losing 6 mile range will not deter me.

The comment today in the Project Purple current thread about better ride with 20‘ wheels and tires (a post we have seen tens of times in different threads), or course relegated to sidewall heights, got me to this morning look at the comparative sidewalls for our intended 2027 GTS. From TireRack with thanks….

Just learned that the only 21” wheel/tires that do not have the shorter 35/30 sidewalls is the 21” Aero Design — which have 40/35 “tweener” sidewall height, i.e., not only better range, lesser cost than all other Porsche 21” wheels, but trifecta, the Aero Design wheels will have a softer ride than all other 21” (tire comfort being equal). Hmm. Of course the 21” RS Spyders looks so nice (perhaps one of the most uniformly agreed upon comments on this forum).

Anyone have the 21” Aero Design wheels on their Taycan and could please comment on their ride?

As the actual sidewall height is the same for both 21" options as the /30 /40 /45 is the % height Vs tire width I'm not sure how the ride quality would differ between them.

Thanks for that correction. According to TireRack, they state the new Goodyear F1 All season has a comfortable ride.

That'll be because it's an all-season tire with a slightly softer compound to summer tires. Better ride but not as great handling in the dry.

Anybody who has driven on Pilot Sport AS3 or 3+ will tell you all seasons don’t always ride better.

Despite this good news of all season finally being available for the 21” Aero Design wheels for those who want the extra range those wheels provide, we are excitedly proceeding down our original path of 21” RS Spyders for our 2027 GTS. As someone posted earlier, they are good looking enough to fit nicely on every 911 version.
