These are new PZeros (PZ4 NA, or something like 1.5 generations newer than what was on 991.2) which may actually be better than MPS4S, so don't rush to get rid of them. Pirelli nearly caught up to MPS4S with PZ4 generation and the "NA" version is supposed to be another (half)step up. I hate how Pirelli keeps the same name and does not provide any info about tire model changes but they do improve tires meanwhile quite a bit.

I havent been on P Zeros since 2015 and sure they have reformulated for the better. Just love how predictable MP4Ss are at the limit and in the wet.
Bottom line, PZeros, me and the TT need a good track day to show themselves..this car is gonna be a joy, I can already feel it.

No, it's NA1. Specifically, the review cars had 255/35R20 93Y and 315/30R21 105Y Pirelli P Zero NA1, which is supposed to be an update on the generic PZ4. The 991.2 had "P Zero N1", which were based on PZ3 and were one full generation behind P Zeros you'd get on most other cars the same year. Pirelli world is weird.

Here's a good article on specific tires: https://motoiq.com/not-all-michelin-...ated-the-same/

Wheels are interesting - Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I'm seeing: Porsche made the Exclusive wheels 1/2 wider, which means 1/4 inch, or 6mm, closer to the fender edge. Exclusives have an offset of ET44 and standard wheels offset is ET41. So the standard wheels are actually closer to the fender edge by 3mm.
Net effect is the Exclusive wheels sit out closer to the fender edge by about 3mm compared to stock wheels.
At the same time, the tire size is identical, despite Exclusives being a 1/2 wider wheel. So the tire stretches a little more which may make the sidewall a little shorter.
I think, at the end of the day, go with the wheel that looks best, b/c the fitment is so close between the wheels.
FWIW, your wheels look great with your overall design.

- GPF is not listed on US and CAN features list and clearly listed on EU countries
- Picture of US delivered TTS had no GPF on exhaust
- US tuner say they have no GPF
Tell me what you think?...credit to someone on this TT/TTS forum who took this excellent photo.

The NA models have the GPF canister and internal matrix but this doesn’t have the catalytic coatings the EU ones have. Take a look at this thread on matrix demolition https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...talia-mod.html
