    Opinion on 20" vs. 19" wheels

    Could an experienced Cayenne driver please tell me if I'm making a mistake by putting 20" wheels vs. 19" wheels on a Cayenne V6????
    Thanks for helping a rookie out

    If you're using the OEM wheels, no problem at all. The 20'' should be used for street driving only, there is also a slightly stiffer ride resulting for them. But nothing really wrong but also no real advantage, especially on the V6.

    I might add to RC's comments that there seems to be more of a tire selection for 20" wheels, compared to the 19", especially for snow tires. I will also reinforce his comment on street use only for the 20". Even then you want to avoid potholes. If you plan any off-road use at all, go with the 18".

    Thanks Ron. I had posted that photo here previously after a trip to my aunt's ranch in the Texas Panhandle. If any of your kids are reading Hank the Cowdog, that's the part of Texas it's from.
