Are most of you maintaining the stock staggered set up? Is there any downside to switching to a square set up? I don’t track or race my Macan, but I get aggressive when it’s necessary. Thx

I run staggered for both summer and winter wheels + tires setup. The downside would be a handling imbalance relative to the Porsche factory spec so not sure why anyone would do this aside from wanting to save money on a winter package.

Or preferred tire only available in square sizing

Or if you want to rotate tires front to back.

Perhaps you could also save a few Benjamin’s using a square set up and rotating the tires. Might get a little more mileage out of them than the 25,000 or so that i get

So for those doing this are you running a wider wheel/tire up front or a narrower wheel/tire in the rear? Are you spec'ing the wheel with custom offset so it doesn't look weird?

The default torque split favors the rear, so having wider tires back there makes sense to me. My 2006 BMW E46 330 convertible also had a staggered setup, so there's nothing particularly unusual about this. What's the question behind the question?

I have wondered about this setup myself. The question behind the question: I had a 50K warranty on my Vred Quattrac Pros, square mounted on my Q5. Now the same make of tires only have a 25K warranty because I can no longer rotate them front to back. In the past, Vredestein was very good about prorating their tires. I no longer have that capability and I will be out a few bucks a year and a half or so from now, when it is time for new tires.
