Replacing Tires

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2017 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Porsche Cayenne, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2014 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tires should not be more than 6 years old!

Repairs to the tires are not permitted nor is the use of inner tubes in tubeless tires.

When replacing a tire on an axle, make sure that the tread depth of the new tire does not differ from that of the other tire by more than 30%.

If new tires are mounted or the tires of one axle are replaced, tires of the same make and with the same specification code must always be used on each of the two axles.

If tires are replaced on one axle only, the different tread depth in relation to the other axle can cause a noticeable change in the handling the driver has become accustomed to. This is especially true if new tires are mounted on the rear axle. This effect decreases with increasing tire mileage.

The overview of summer and winter tires is included in Technical Information (TI) . When replacing summer tires, pay close attention to the tire specification number for the same make of tire. The specification code (for example N0) distinguishes the summer tires specially authorized by Porsche AG from other tires of the same type and size.

Customers should be informed that the full performance of new or newly mounted tires is achieved only after driving the vehicle for a distance of 100 to 200 km (60 to 120 miles). Extreme driving maneuvers (acceleration, braking) should be avoided.
