I'm having a hard time finding 21" all-season tires for my Turbo Design Wheels (on my Macan S). Do these not exist?
They're not an option from Porsche and Tire Rack turns up only two choices, both Summer/Sport tires, not very good for light snow/rain use.

Dealer told me they don't exist yet.

Tequipment catalog had 18" wheels with all seasons for a little over 2K. Maybe consider a wheel swap if you want all season capability?

The issue that the wheels i've ordered are the 21" Turbo Designs. Hard to believe no company makes an all weather tire for this thing.

It's a very crazy size tire that hardly any other vehicle in the world uses. So when your dealing with a niche product, all season mediocrity doesn't come up high in the list of profitability. Summers and winters will sell, because they work really good.

29.3". Tall tires in any rim size are pretty rare.

Here the 18s winter set are 2868 plus tax.

I know the local dealers will run specials on winter sets seasonally.

Also at Tire rack you can get the 18s winter set with Blizzacks for 2250 shipped with the sensors.

I don't know how much of a deal it is in your region but 21s and snow and hidden potholes and you want to protect the 21s given the low profile. Those are expensive wheels.

I've got a Turbo coming with 21" wheels and I plan on getting a set of ??? in 19" (or even 18" if I can find some that fit) and putting real snow tires on those. Haven't found aftermarket wheels for snow tires yet. Don't need high performance wheels for winter so factory wheels may be too expensive.

This is one of the reasons why I am hesitant to get a 911. They don't make all seasons for them. when you live in a city with limited garage space, it's hard to keep a separate set of winters.

I bought some Pirelli snow and ice tires for my Cayenne Diesels 21's, not sure if same size. We had a horrible winter here in southern Indiana with lots of snow and freezing weather, and they performed exceptionally well.

I've looked on Tire Rack, which normally has a really wide selection of tires for Porsches, and came up empty when searching for possibilities for a Macan with 21" factory wheels.

Nokian has new SUV Z summer 21" tires at about $229 - half the price ive seen others asking. They are much higher wear-rated too. Makes the idea of having summer and winter tire sets a little more palatable.

Pick the right shoes for the turf where you trod. No 35 aspect ratio tire is going to offer decent all-weather, off-tarmac capability. There simply isn't enough sidewall compliance for an "all-season" tire to work significantly better than a sticky performance tire. My recommendation is if you go off asphalt, you really don't want larger than 19" Macan Turbo or Macan Design rims, which are:

8 x 19 ET 21 with 235/55 R 19 tires (front)
9 x 19 ET 21 with 255/50 R 19 tires (rear)

Main reason that I went with the 20 inch all seasons on my Macan Turbo, but I've checked and Nokian makes a winter tire - NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 8 SUV TIRES, in the size needed for the Macan 21 inch.

Thanks for the advice..
I was more looking at heavy rain/light snow usage, not "off-roading" per se.

If you really want all season performance with no terror changing for winter, I would totally agree with the 19" recommendation. That would be your the best advice at this time.
