Default "The best drive in poor conditions I've ever had."
A quote from my wife after driving Finn through the six inches of snow (over an inch of sleet) that we got here in the Poconos overnight. I'm hoping - hoping - she can hold out for a few years until I can get her a Cajun. Otherwise, I might be shopping for an additional Cayenne in a year or two...

Nice wheels!

The Cayenne is pretty rock solid in the slop... but I am hoping we don't see any more snow this year!

There's another person on here who used to call his Cayenne Rosie. Other than that, I can't recall anyone else naming their P!G

No. But not ghey names.

I have Precious and The Truck, er... Vlad the Impaler and Fabulous Mr. Excitement.

My old work minivans were Barney and the Jolly Green Giant.

Was this on street or snow tires?

Those are brand new all season (<300 miles). Those are actually my 'summer' tires; I'm planning on going to 235/70/17s come winter.

Cool Nice!
You'll see a definite difference with a set of Snow Tires! I have Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires on a set of 17" OEM Cayenne Turbo wheels like yours for Winter and it feels like night and day compared with my all season / summer Michelin Latitude HP Tour performance tires on OEM 19" Titanium Ed. Wheels!

+1 on that. Real snow and ice tires will run rings around any normal "all season" tires in winter conditions. You feel like a friggin' mountain goat.
