Approved Wheels and Tires (05/09)
Vehicle Type:
Panamera S/Panamera 4S/Panamera Turbo
Model Year:
As of 2010
INFORMATION:
Approval status: August 2009
WARNING:
Driving with different tires (mixed tires) - Uncontrollable vehicle handling
- Only use tires of the same make and type, with the same speed index and the same specification code (N0, N1, N2, ...) on a vehicle.
Summer Tires:
Winter Tires:
INFORMATION:
N... = Specification code of the tire, e.g. "N0", "N1", "N2" ... The complete "N ..." code of the tires in question must be shown on the tire sidewall near the tire type designation.
Instructions for correct mounting of the tires are also given on the tire sidewall. If there are no mounting instructions on the tire sidewall, the tire must be mounted so that the DOT marking is visible from the outside.
Arrow with inscription "Rotation" =directional mounting
"Inside/Outside" inscription or =mounting on specified side only "Left" or "Right"
Arrow with both inscriptions =directional mounting on "Rotation" and "Inside/Outside" specified side only. Arrow with both inscriptions = directional mounting on "Rotation" and "Left" or "Right" specified side only.
If a tire is damaged and it is not possible to determine with absolute certainty that there is no ply damage - with all of its consequences - or if the tire was thermally and/or mechanically overloaded due to a loss of pressure or other prior damage, replace the tire in question for safety reasons.
Repairs to "V", "W", "Y" and "ZR" tires are not permissable, as well as the use of inner tubes in tubeless tires. Please inform your customers accordingly. It is advisable to mount winter tires at temperatures below 45° F/7 °C , because the driving characteristics of summer tires are reduced at low temperatures. Extremely low temperatures can cause permanent damage to summer tires.
WARNING :
Incorrect tire pressure
- Uncontrollable vehicle handling
- Adjust the tire pressure according to specifications. Never allow the pressure to fall below the minimum pressure. - Check age of tires. Replace tires that are more than 6 years old. - Perform visual inspections.
- Use only tires recommended by Porsche.
Tire Pressure:
INFORMATION: The tire pressure applies only to the tire makes and types approved by Porsche, and is specified for cold tires (approx. 68° F/20°C . The tire pressures must never be lower than the specified values.
Tire pressure for summer, winter and all-season tires
Comfort tire pressure for summer, winter and all-season tires up to 160 km/h (100mph)

INFORMATION:
Improper handling can damage the wheel surface.
Carry out tire removal and mounting using a bead holding-down device only. Use a leather pad on the rim flange to support the valve insertion tool. Only use the Porsche centering clamping set for balancing.
Do not use brushes to clean the wheels because brushes can cause deep scratches that cannot be removed by polishing. Never use solvents or other chemical substances on tires.
Wheel Mounting:
Tightening torque 160 Nm(118 ftlb.)
WARNING :
Incorrectly installed snow chains - Uncontrollable vehicle handling
- Do not exceed the maximum speed of Speed 50 km/h (30mph). - Observe installation instructions from the chain manufacturer.

Wheel Storage:
Tires must be stored in a cool, dry and dark room with adequate ventilation. Tires must never come into contact with fuel, oil, grease or chemicals.
Complete wheels can be stacked for storage; we recommend that you increase the tire pressure by approx. 0.4 bar (6 psi).
Optimum conditions for storage of the complete wheels are provided by the Original Porsche storage trolley, Part No. 000.044.000.38.
If the tires are not mounted on wheels, it is best to store them in a vertical position. We recommend that you turn tires stored in this position every
two weeks in order to prevent flat spots. Tires that are stacked in a horizontal position will become severely deformed and cannot be seated properly
in the rim flange when they are mounted.
