Unhappy Tire Nightmare

Hello all,

I have a 2010 Panamera S with some good usage. No major problems with the car since I've owned it, but since I bought the car in 2012 I've had issues with the tires mainly because of the rims. I have aftermarket rims (car came with them) with tires which are continental Extreme Contact 245/35 ZR 21 for front and 295/30 ZR 21 for rear. These tires are always on backorder and I usually end up waiting about a month for them to become available. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this issue. I am trying to find similar rims/tires, but without the hassle.

21" tires are very hard to come by. I just ordered new Modulare 21" wheels for my Panamera GTS and they should be arriving in the next week or two. I was fortunate to get my hands on a set of lightly used Michelin Pilot Super Sports for them.

Thanks to 2010Panny4S for posting the link to Tire Rack. It's good to see that the 305/30/21 and 265/35/21 are currently in stock. The original poster should grab those now before they're gone!

Not many people out there running 21's on their Panameras. To me it seems like the perfect size....not too big or small, but the tire choices are slim to say the least.

Can you guys share some pics of your car with the 21" wheels? Would love to see them!
