A quick query on tyres for any owners reading. The car we are buying has P Zeros all round. They have quite a lot of tread so we'll have to live with them for at least the summer. Have any of you switched tyres and got any thoughts on these or any other options?
I've recently put a set of Maxxis tyres on all round. I was getting through the original Michelin tyres at a ridiculous rate (fronts were down to canvas on the inside edge by the time of first service - 8k miles). Too early to tell what these are like, but certainly seem to do the job on the daily commute. Haven't heard of anyone using P Zeros, but I'm sure they're fine.Edited by Stephanie Plum on Sunday 14th May 18:16
OEM tyres are Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35 ZR20 (95Y) XL
Also, if you use Facebook, join the Polestar Owners UK group which is pretty active, with a lot of enthusiastic owners
I'm looking to slim the 'fleet' down from a 330d Touring and an RS4 Saloon. I've been and test driven a Polestar today and really quite liked it. The test drive was only 15 mins, granted, and that was over back roads - what are they like on the motorway for cruising? Any known issues I should be aware of (this is the 6cyl model)? What are day to day running costs like (pads / disks etc?).
Cheers

Mine is coming up to two years old and I've only done about 14,000 miles in it. Tyres are expensive and it does like to go through them (hence why I'm trying out some cheaper Maxxis alternatives currently). Not had to change any pads or disks yet, but they can be expensive as they are Brembo specific. Cheers
I found the car to be very good on the motorway, easily get over thirty to the gallon even when 'pressing on' and the seats are supremely comfortable.
I love the thing and it's just so anonymous. Pop it into 'Sport' mode and it bypasses the back box. Sounds lovely!\
Get over to the Facebook page and ask the question there, as there are more people who have done more miles than me!

Cheers. I've asked to be added to the FB group already....I found the car to be very good on the motorway, easily get over thirty to the gallon even when 'pressing on' and the seats are supremely comfortable.

I don't do facebook. Any options other than owners groups on there?
There is the 'swedespeed.com' forums, which has a Polestar area ( http://forums.swedespeed.com/forumdisplay.php?5021... )
had mine 2 weeks now ( 3.0 ),, what a machine! not worked out what all the gadgets do and need to subscribe to the Oncall app
Previously owned a mk5 golf GTI and thought that was the best all round family car you could get... not anymore!. Quiet and understated when you want ,,and an absolute stealth missile when you don't.
Mine is black but can't upload a pic as cannot work out how to shrink the photo on my phone to fit!
