About the 305/30R21 size
Shared by the 992 Carrera S and the Taycan/e-tron GT twins. On the EVs look for the low-rolling-resistance N-spec or EV version, otherwise range drops noticeably.
The numbers mean: 305 mm section width, sidewall height 30 % of that width, and a 21-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 28.2 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 305/30R21 tires cost?
Expect $270–$335 per tire for a budget brand, $345–$430 for a mid-range tire like the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4), and $440–$580 for a premium tire like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 305/30R21 tires?
305/30R21 is original equipment on Porsche Taycan (2020-2024, 21 in rear), Porsche 911 (2020-2024, 992 Carrera S rear), Audi e-tron GT (2022-2024, 21 in rear), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 305/30R21 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4), is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Continental SportContact 6 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 305/30R21 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
