Ride quality - 21 vs 20
Hi,
Just tried to identical Panameras. One with 21" wheel and Pirelli tires, and one with 20" wheel and Michelin Acoustic tires.
Pretty scary how much difference there was when it comes to road noise. The Michelins and 20s was like a flying carpet.
Any other with some experience?
The only thing that's holding me back is the look.

I am just the opposite! I really don't like the look of the 19" wheels at all and I find the 21's the best looking by far. I guess that is why they offer three different sizes; everybody has different opinions. Regarding the tire noise I can only comment on the 21" wheels with the Pirelli PZero tires. For me I didn't notice much tire noise at all even when driving in E mode. Does depend on the condition of the road somewhat though and speed. At high speeds (80-90 mph) there is some road and wind noise to be sure, even in E mode.
