    How long tire should last that came with the car on Taycan 4s?

    And here's a much longer thread on taycan tires and wear https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/check-your-tires.8611/page-15

    One year in - Taycan and option review

    I have both the Taycan and AP1 S2k as well. :). I love switching between a torque monster and a rev monster on the weekends.

    Check Your Tires!

    And here’s the alignment data to go with the wear. Notice that my front left inside worn out a lot even though the camber on that side is actually in spec. Lesson learned is... either the alignment measurement machine is off, or wheel alignment and tire wear are much more complicated than just...

    Check Your Tires!

    BTW, I only just realized that depending on which exact groove I measure, there seems to be a clear difference in depth -- perhaps by design. Next time I gotta make sure to measure the same exact grooves for each tire to have a better Apples-Apples comparison.

    Check Your Tires!

    Replying to my own post from 1.5 years ago. I got Michelin Pilot Sport 4 NF0 replacements from Costco, and they lasted 19 months / 16k miles of hard driving when these pictures were taken. I loved the performance, but maybe should have done an alignment in between. For what it's worth, here...

    disable auto shutdown after a while?

    Anyone found better methods? I've been opening and closing the door every 30 mins to avoid the auto-shutdown.

    Broken DC Flap Causes Bad Charging Day

    @DerekS Since your little flap seems to be intact, do you think the piece of plastic that prevented charing came from the previous person who tried that dock?

    Do you think they'll allow my 7 yr old son in with my supervision?

    Time for New Tires

    What do you think of Tyre review data? (Link below). I think as far as internet data goes, this channel provides as objective as possible data. I never even knew the OE spec of the same brand tyre of the same size were different until I saw this video. So I'm pretty happy with my NF0 spec...

    Where is the cabin air filter?

    just changed mine today per instructions above. This was how the old one looks after 24 months and 22k miles in Nor Cal.

    Taycan : Braking for more 🤓🤔 -- How the Taycan gets by without a larger brake system—thanks to recuperation

    I think what RWD blending strategy expressed in this chart would be something like this red curve. In other words, you'd have to brake with less input to recoup the same amount of kinetic energy. It'll be interesting to draw this chart whether the car is in 1st or 2nd gear. I suspect there...

    Actual ownership cost to own a Taycan

    I'm curious how you calculated the $4k opportunity cost and whether you've factored in the absurd inflation. :D My insurance is $1500/yr. Northern California. Zero electricity cost (EA, free charge at work) @ 20 kWh/100km Maintenance: only one brake fluid change $300 Tires sound about right

    Odd Tire Wear at 13K Miles

    I'll add to the thread with my data points. This is after 18k miles of daily med-hard driving, biweekly mountain runs in Northern California (Highway 9). The inside is consistently wearing faster than outside just like everyone else. I measured the treads remaining for your reference. I...

    Odd Tire Wear at 13K Miles

    and if I remember correctly, you did NOT opt to do a re-alignment when you switched to the Michelin PS4S, right? I think I'm gonna do the same as well. The relative high camber seems to be intentional and common amongst our Taycans. As long as the wear is similar on L/R sides I suppose it's fine.

    Moving to SF, tires suggestion

    unless you plan to goto Lake Tahoe, you're fine with summer tires all year long.
