Porsche Macan Electric tires
The Porsche Macan Electric leaves the factory on 235/55 R20 and 255/40 R22 and 255/45 R21 depending on wheel size, and the 235/55 R20 105Y XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. It is staggered: a 235 section at the front and a 285 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tire.
What changes on this car
The rear tire is 50 mm wider than the front on the 20in wheel (235 against 285) and 40 mm wider on the 21 and 22in, so there is no front-to-rear rotation on any version.
The 20in rear, 285/45 R20 112Y XL, carries 1,120 kg per tire, the highest rating on the car. The 22in front is the lowest at index 103, 875 kg, with about 102 mm of sidewall.
Porsche's approval list gives the same sizes in V-rated all-season and winter form, except that the 21in winter rear narrows to 285/40 R21 109V. Approved tires carry Porsche's N code on the sidewall.
It shares only the name with the earlier gasoline Macan. The electric car sits on the PPE platform shared with the Audi Q6 e-tron, so tire advice for the combustion model does not apply to it.
No tires listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 235/55 R20. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.

Common questions
- What size tires does the Porsche Macan Electric take?
- It runs 235/55 R20 and 255/40 R22 and 255/45 R21. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tire to a Porsche Macan Electric?
- Only at 235/55 R20 105Y XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tire below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
