TireRack Deal for the Dunlop snows
Based on the research that I have done a lot of people have recommended the Dunlops, so I just placed the order for the snow tires they should be here in a day or so!! I had to get the tire insurance to avoid any problems....if I would have skipped it the insurance then with my luck I would get a nail in one of them 
I will let you know how they ride once I get them installed. Here are the details on the deal I got online. I bought an extra set of 18" take-off rims to have these mounted on.
Vehicle: 04 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
4 235/60HR-18 Dunlop Grandtrek WT M2 N0 (Porsche OE) XL - $194.00
4 Tire road hazard program - $23.28
Shipping: $33.50
Tax: $.00
Excise Tax: $.00
State Disposal Fund Fee: $.00
Order Total Including Shipping: $902.62

The 235/60-18s are serving me well on my CT for the second season.
Be ready for x5 drivers <g>. I had one that said the Dunlops looked "anemic" on a vehicle as big as the Cayenne. When I noted that they handled great, he agreed that his x5 buddies with 19" wheels were really hurting in the winter.

I have the Grandteks on 18" aftemarket wheels from TireRack. Ride fine and NO vibration! Hasn't snowed yet, but I have similiar Dunlop M2 and M3's on an A4 and a MCS and they're good in snow and more importantly good on dry roads, which is what you drive on most of the time anyway... (and no, I don't have snows for the GT3 
)

Hmmmm, we have the Dunlops on our X5 and so far so good. I can barely tell the difference in the dry between the Duns and the All Season Michelins. No snow yet so can't give a report. I have Scorpions on the way for the LX - looks like the Cayenne will have to wait until after the snow season. I can't seem to get a good deal on an 05 CT....oh well
