Graham W Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Can't comment on discs and pads (they look OK from a visual inspection with wheels on) but my 718s has done 11.5K and needs new rear tyres - currently shod with Pirelli P Zero N1. Used to get 18-19K out of my 981 rears that had Goodyear Eagles on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-yorkshire Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 My car is on the same Pirelli’s. Will swap to Michelin when they need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to hear how your discs, pads and tyres are wearing. 28k (I actually had to go outside look, it's been that long since I drove it!) pads and discs look fine to me. Tyres were replaced at 20k - I went for Michelin PS4S instead of the PZeros. Much better IMHO. Edited December 8, 2020 by Happy Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't believe this then.... We got 60k out of the all-seasons on our Macan! Most of our mileage is on carriageways motorway or town.

mark-yorkshire Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Took rear nearside wheel off today to take it to local alloy wheel doctor for painting of minor pot hole chips on the rim of my titanium grey Carerra Sport wheel. Bit disappointed to find the hub was very rusty after only 1 year and 4,000 miles. Gave the hub a clean with rust remover and it looks better now.

mark-yorkshire Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Increased rear tyre pressures as the outside groove of my Pirelli P zeros was wearing more than the other three primary grooves. Also removed the drivers side rear wheel and cleaned up the rusty hub ( did the passenger side a week or so ago) . Cleaned all the suspension components at the same time plus waxed the wheel with Bilthammer double wax. Just need to do the front hubs now.

Tbone Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Bugger all. Havent opened the garage since Christmas. I hope its still there..... Anyway, our snow is now gone, so maybe this weekend could have a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-yorkshire Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Finished off the removal, cleaning and waxing of the last one of my wheels. Also cleaned all of the suspension parts. Both front wheels were a pig to get off as the retaining hub lugs had “welded” themselves onto the wheel centre. Cleaned up the rusty hubs and molylubed the retaining lugs. Should be easier to get off next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that happens to me i loosen the wheel bolts and move the wheels via the steering wheel whilst off the jack and this breaks the grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham W Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 New rear tyres. Replaced the factory P Zero with Goodyear a much quieter tyre and hopefully I'll get more then 11,500 miles out of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit I do yearly oil changes myself (in addition to the standard service schedule). And it’s usually under £100 all in (oil from Costco). £700 for just an oil change is outrageous, even for an OPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
