What are the best tires for a Porsche Cayenne?

I guess I decided to park my Porsche in the wrong place because I came back to it to find my tires slashed. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to replace them with. What are the best tires for a Porsche Cayenne?

Oh no, sorry to hear this happened to you! The best tires for your
Porsche Cayenne
will depend on the tire size, speed rating, and load index.
Your owner’s manual should tell you what tire size you need to look for. (Also, keep in mind that vehicles within the same make and model year can sometimes have different tire sizes depending on trim level and other factors.)
As an example, one possible tire size for a 2022 Porsche Cayenne is P255/55-19 for the front wheels and P255/50-19 for the rear wheels. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
  • The P means the tire is for passenger vehicles.
  • The 255 means the tire is 255 millimeters wide.
  • The 55 means the front tire’s height is 55% of its width. The rear tire would be 50% of its width.
  • The 19 refers to the rims’ 19-inch diameter
You’ll also want to pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index as well to make sure they’ll be compatible with your Porsche Cayenne.
The following are a few brands to consider that Porsche recommends for its vehicles:
  • Bridgestone
  • Continental
  • Goodyear
  • Michelin
  • Yokohama
And as for tire types, here are a few options to consider for your Porsche Cayenne Limited:
  • All-season tires: All-season tires can be a solid option for reliable handling all year long.
  • Winter/snow tires: Switching out your summer tires for winter tires can prepare you for driving on snowy, icy roads.
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: Some UHP tires can be used year-round, while others are only meant to be used during warm seasons. They can provide added traction and better handling, but the tread on UHP tires can sometimes wear faster than all-season tires.
If your current
car insurance
policy is giving you little to no traction, it’s probably time to replace that, too. With the #1-rated
