Vehicle model
Porsche Taycan
Launched in 2019, the Taycan is Porsche's first fully electric car and a technological milestone for the brand. This sport sedan (also available in Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo raised-wagon body styles) combines range, ultra-fast charging and typically Porsche driving dynamics. Available in 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S and Turbo GT versions, it targets premium customers wanting to switch to electric without giving up performance. Tire/wheel note: large 19- to 21-inch wheels, 5x130 bolt pattern, often with low-rolling-resistance "N" tires. In Quebec, winter tires suited to heavy electric vehicles are strongly advised.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Porsche roulent presque toujours sur de grandes jantes : 19 et 20 pouces sur 911 et 718, 20 à 22 pouces sur Cayenne, Macan, Panamera et Taycan. La plupart des modèles (911, 718, Cayenne, Panamera) utilisent un entraxe 5x130 mm, tandis que le Macan se distingue avec un 5x112 mm. Les montes sont souvent étagées (pneus arrière plus larges qu'à l'avant). Porsche recommande des pneus homologués « N » développés pour ses véhicules. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires : un second jeu de jantes plus petites (souvent 19 ou 20 pouces) chaussé de pneus hiver protège les jantes d'origine et améliore nettement la motricité sur neige et glace. Validez toujours dimension, indice de charge/vitesse et déport.
