Default 21 Inch Wheels - All Season Tires?

I've put a deposit on a turbo. I've got an April build (est. to be 4/4/14). On my build sheet, I selected the 20" Mecan SportDesign Wheels. The saleman stated those wheels come with all-season tires (unless you request summer tires). Does anyone know if the 21 inch wheels can be opted for all-season tires? I've got until the end of Feb. to make any changes.

I don't believe there is an all season 21 that will fit the Macan. Might be worthwhile to double check Tirerack.

No, they cannot.

No, the 21" wheels are not available with all-seasons or winters - only high performance summers.

Thanks to all for the information. I'll stay with the 20's.

Get a separate wheel set for winter, I am sure you can get some take offs at a good price.

2 years ago I picked up a great set of OEMs on Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow from Damon Witters at Tirerack.
damon@tirerack.com

Replaced them when they wore out this winter

Excellent price, great service.

Yes, the Pirellis Scorpion Ice and Snow are excellent winter tires. I decided to use them on my Cayenne TTS 21s rather than get a second set of wheels. Despite the massive width, they have been awesome this winter, whether snow packed /icy conditions or several inches of snow.
