Anyone placed an Order for the Taycan yet?

Issue with 19s is that the design is not to many people's tastes... however they will give the best ride and less road noise and also happen to be cheaper to buy and replace tyres on!

Regarding the ride, to be honest even on 21s it is superb so I would not be too worried about that. The real issue is road noise - with 21s it is REALLY bad, even with acoustic glass. Strongly recommend avoiding them. Not sure how bad it is with 20s, but in either case 19s will be the best.

Aesthetics aside the Taycan is at its best on 20''. Road noise isn't noticeable and the range is noticeably better to the tune of 10% on motorways.

Wife drives a MY19 cayenne ehybrid, on 20" spyders; any road noise compared to these?

4CT is for her, in time for mid '22 hopefully.

Comfort/Pliancy for motorway as well as country roads - about 8miles of this in daily commute - & noise level is important to her.
plus heated steering wheel & massage seats!

Like what, any suggestions? I have the Bose but I'm not that blown away by it. It's better loud. I'm not really sure what I was expecting as I've never had a good stereo would a bass speaker be a big improvement?

That's exactly it. It has no presence on lower mid frequencies unless its cranked hard and even then its floppy.

I put one of these in my Macan in place of Bose sub.

400 watts RMS for £500 is NIGHT AND DAY!!! Add the remote level control option and you may need a high level to low level converter like LC2 if you are taking the original sub amplified feed - personally I would just tap a rear loudspeakler next time and avoid that over EQ's feed. Honestly its rather a ghetto window rattler LOL. Will offer it up to my CT tomorrow to see the fit...

Any reason why 20" rather than the standard? Would save a whopper.
Drove 4S back to back with & without the 20", & both myself/wife instantaneously felt a more comfortable ride with the standards, confirmed by the sales manager too who sat in the back.
Yes doesn't look as good, but you are inside the car & for the money.......

19" will be a little less grippy as its quite a lot less rubber compare to 21" and they aren't the prettiest. Also no difference in range between 19 and 20. I've only test driven 21" and the ride is excellent - I expect the 20" midddling choice to be even better and very tight with PDCC for roll and straight ahead ride comfort.

Ken - never been a fan of Bose - from the stuff I've had the bass was ok at low volumes but that was as good as it gets . I tried Bose when spec'ing the CT - it was in a 992 thou doh - I immediately changed to Burgmeister (sp) as it was really poor . Interested in your sub route, as if it works it would have been significantly cheaper .

The Bose is OK in the CT mate. Nothing to write home about but I think its liveable with as its a far better implementation than teh disgrace in the Macan. I don't think I'll be fitting my Audison 300w RMS 10" sub from my Macan as it takes too much space and would need to go in (now lesser) boot space or froot...
