Carpokes Porsche Forum

So I just got my third screw through the same tire on my new 24 cayenne s. I went to plug and found the 4 “ screw had gone through the top of the tire and screwed into the sidewall. When I inflated I had a nice tennis ball sized dimple in the side wall. So I guess duct tape won’t fix this one. I started looking and I wanted to see what experience people have with other tires on the 21” newer cayenne. My understanding is Porsche designed them with more sidewall or something to that effect for better off-road performance. I wanted to change out the rears but not it there is going to b be a big difference in tire sidewall size between the front and rears. I’m also looking for recs. I know the ps4s is a good tire. I’ve read good things about the continentals and also the Yokohamas. Just looking for ideas. Thanks brain trust!

Third screw in the same tire. This tire must have pissed someone off in a past life.

Some recent Continental talk here -

The gist of my comments: ... the new Cayenne S that we just got came with Continental Sport Contact 7 Performance Summer (Porsche N-spec "NC0") for 22" wheels. 285/40-ZR22 & 315/40-ZR22. (Had to edit that tire size - ZR315 is a bit large! )

... not many miles on the vehicle yet so not a lot to go on, but they are quiet, especially for large tires and ... had a very steady, sure-footed feel.

I've had Continentals on previous cars, including a Cayenne Turbo and I think they are excellent tires, at least based on my experience.

"The Continental tire company was founded back in 1871 and is the oldest premium tire manufacturer in the world. The company is headquartered in Hanover Germany but has large global manufacturing and business presence on 5 different continents."

Looks like I’m getting Michelin ps4suv. Since it’s in the 21” wheel and the Bridgestone is so new (they can’t get it) I don’t have a lot of choices. I have liked my ps4s tires in the past so not too upset.

You can't go wrong with the Michelins.

Holy cow. Ps4suv is so much better than the Bridgestone tires. Same volume, much more stick. They look better to boot.

Good to know - thanks for the feedback!

Wow, I can’t imagine what the odds are on that one

Update: the Michelins do surprisingly well in the sand!
