After 15,000 miles, I am replacing the tires on my MY 2022 Taycan GTS. I have 21 inch
Spyder wheels and it originally came with Pirelli P Zeros. I prefer Michelin’s and Tire Rack recommends a non-OEM tire. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. In the recommended size it has a Mercedes rating . (MO1A Mercedes) I have ordered them from my Porsche service center but they have mentioned to me that it is not the N spec tire. Does anyone have any experience with this tire on their Taycan and, since it is not the N spec, should I be reluctant to put them on?

I have the MO1A on my RS E-Tron GT (Taycan Turbo). I don't think we can't really tell the difference, but why not get the N to be safe?

My car came with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric which sucked. The PS4S has superior NVH and handling.

I don’t think Michelin makes an N spec tire for the Taycan in the 21” size.

Have 2025 Taycan 4 on the way that has 20" Taycan Turbo Aero Wheels. What tire specs will I see when it arrives?
