I am looking for a new set of tires for the Cayenne. I have heard and seen a lot of good reviews about both the atturo az800 and az850
Just curious if any cayenne owners have tried this tire? It would be on my summer wheels and I have a set of winters with winter rubber, so they would be strictly used on dry or wet, no snow/sleet/ice
Any reviews, impressions etc would be great to hear
I put some Atturo's on the rear of my BMW X5. They seemed to be decent quality / performance and were pretty cheap. 2 years later, they have performed just as expected when I got them. Would do it again.
Of course on whatever tires you get for the Cayenne, pay close attention to the load and speed ratings, since these SUVs are way out there beyond most in terms of weight and speed requirements.
When I did my widebody project, I went with 22" x 12" wide wheels to fill out the fender flares and to keep the rolling circumference of the tires as close as possible to the OEM 295/35-21 tires that came on the car ('09 TTS), the right width and aspect ratio was a 315/30-22. There are very few tires available in this size with Lexani (as Dilberto mentions) being one, the Atturo AZ850 being another, and what I was really hoping to source somewhere was a Veredstein Sessenta, but they discontinued this size in their line quite a few years ago. I read a few reviews on the Atturos as this is a popular upgrade tire size for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT crowd, and they all had good things to say about it, so that's what I went with. I had not read very favorable reviews on the Lexani tires as a general rule, but respect Dilberto's opinion, so maybe I'll consider them in the future, depending on how these Atturos work out.
I only have about 500 miles on them, but they seem to corner fine, aren't noticeably noisy and have appropriate DOT ratings to support the weight of the Cayenne. I have not yet driven them in the rain to see how the wet weather traction is but am taking the Cayenne on a trip to FL in a few weeks and am sure I'll run through some rain on that trip and can report back. They are pretty inexpensive by comparison and only being able to find them on eBay at the time, I actually bought 6 just in case I had a puncture or wore through the back set in short order.
The load rating is a 107 XL, which according to Tire Rack's website (https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiret...180511130504:s) says that each tire should support 2,149 lbs, for a total of 8,600 lbs, which should be more than adequate for a fully loaded Cayenne.
Thanks guys. Yes, I saw similar things with the jeep srt guys running them and having good success with them. Similar weight and power to a Cayenne Turbo so they should be fairly comparable. Load ratings seem to be oem or better. The 285/35/22 I would be looking at are a 106 load index. For the price they can't be beat. I need to swap rubber over pretty soon so I will be looking at these closer over the next few weeks
The Atturo AZ850 is basically a cheaper, Goodyear F1 Asymmetric. The Lexani LX is a copycat, Yokohama Advan ST and rides great, with a respectable load and speed rating. It slices thru rain like a huge Rollerblade...
I just looked through all the performance tire sizes on the Lexani site and they don't make a 315/30-22 in any of them, so looks like I'll be remaining with Atturo unless I look at changing sizes, but my previous analysis showed this as the best fit for the 12"x22" wheel coming from the previous 295/35-21 OEM size. My speedo reads about 2 MPH low so they have a slightly larger rolling circumference.
I am in the process of buying the Atturos, just debating on 850 vs 800. I will be doing some boat towing as well (~4,000lb which includes the trailer) Both the 800 and 850 are rated at 106 for load. I prefer the look of the 850 and by all accounts both tires handle very similar. Any final input before I pull the trigger?
Yeah that was one of the reviews I came across while researching the tires. I ordered the AZ850s today. Cant wait to get them on the Cayenne!
Any feedback on this tire for boat towing? My only obstacle I really run into is bad lake ramps. Some are more slippery and some you end up partially on the grass as you try to pull the boat out

No feedback yet, been waiting for my cayenne to go in and get fixed after being rear ended a few weeks back. Haven't been able to pull the boat with it because of the damage. I think these tires will handle the ramps and boat towing duty without any problems, one of the reasons I bought them. They seem really solid in the wet. Hopefully the Cayenne will be all fixed up in the next 2 weeks and I can give you feedback on how the atturos feel towing the boat and how solid they are at the ramp.

What type of boat do you have?
Thanks. Yeah I’m very curious to know. I have a 2010 Moomba Outback so it’s only like 4,500-lbs with trailer. But may upgrade to an Axis or new Moomba in the future that’s maybe 5,500-lbs.
And I live on a private lake so anytime I pull out, I gotta borrow somebody’s ramp. And for example, one neighbor has a ramp on his private property so it’s older and smaller and all cracked. So traction matters across ramps. What are you pulling?
