Curious (obsessive) shopper here. Having looked at the carfax service records of so many used Taycans, I've noticed that there seems to be an out of proportion wheel/tire repair/replacement. Are there rims/tires to avoid?

Not a fault. Heavy Taycan = tires wear out faster. Add the 0-60 <5 seconds

There have been some rims proportionally higher problems. You may have to do some research

I noticed this too before buying one. We have gotten over 30k miles on the Pilot sport 4 tires that came with ours - a pleasant surprise.

Default Update....

Ended up leasing a 2021 CPO Turbo. 2k down (goes to first months payment), 1200 month, 15k mile year lease. Figured nice way to get into one risk free and see how it goes over one year. Arrives Monday!
