    Recommended 20" tires for Cayenne S

    Hi,

    What 20" tires would you reccomend for the Cayenne S? The current Pirellis are worn down to almost nothing and need to be replaced soon.

    Suggestions? Thanks!

    GM Austin, would you say that the Michelin's are better than the Pirellis?

    I suspect that, but don't know it. I'm positive on the Michelin's 2nd generation Diamaris because I've heard so many positive comments from Cayenne owners about them. Specifically, I heard several people comment that the Michelins were the only tire they tried that would make their vibration problem go away. I have seen reports that would indicate the Michelins are better balanced from the factory and need less correction than other Porsche approved tires for the Cayenne. Initally I had heard bad things about the Diamaris on treadwear with some lasting only 7-10k miles, but the newer N1 Diamaris are getting more like 15k miles, more in line with the other N rated tires. So, decent treadwear, good roadforce balance numbers, seems like a good tire to me.

    Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind next time my Cayenne needs a tire change

    Do other tires have better longevity? This car won't be driven very hard / fast (up to 140 km/h).

    I haven't heard of any other Porsche approved tire as having greater longevity than about 15k miles (some less). If you drive sedately they might last a bit longer.

    The 05 Cayenne Turbo is driven sedately by my wife, and the tires lasted for 11000 miles. The average, I've heard, seems to be about 8-9000 miles.

    I put the Diamaris N1 on, again,,,,$1400 installed, including tax.

    This may be a dumb question, but how can you tell the difference between the N1 and N0 Diamaris? Are they visually different? Is N1 or N0 actually listed on the sidewall?

    Thanks.

    The N ratign is marked on the sidewall - the N1 is a later and better (by how much ??) version than the N0.

    Does anyone know if the N1 version of Diamaris will soon be available for 19 inch wheels? The 19 inch NOs on my CS are well worn at 15000 miles. I have not seen 19 inch Diamaris advertised at TireRack or at Michelin's website.

    My Pirelli Pzeros lasted me 32,000 miles on my CS. I've now been trying out the Michelins...
    BH Porsche tells me they've never heard of such tire longevity for the Cayenne S. I attribute 60% of the tire life to the TPS. The other 40% was me filling it in as needed.
