    Tyre approvals

    Porsche carries out intensive tire development and testing and regularly issues lists of manufacturer-approved summer and winter tires for all new vehicles. However, tire design as well as tread patterns and rubber compounds change over time; tire types are discontinued and new tires come onto the market.

    Tires are the sole connection between your Porsche and the road. They transfer the high power of the Porsche car to the road surface. And they make an important contribution to your safety – not least when braking.

    In order to recommend tires to drivers of Porsche Classic cars, Porsche also publishes lists of approved tires for vintage cars and recent classics at regular intervals. For this purpose, more than 150 different sets of tires are tested in a wide variety of disciplines, on the relevant original vehicles.

    Below you will find an overview of these approved tires in PDF format.

    * Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. From 01 September 2018 the WLTP will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 01 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.

    Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, irrespective of the testing method used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars, (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will therefore be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel consumption, electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.
