Wow, That's great info. This blade are even Cayenne certified/OEM version. I may push the dealer change the arm for me.
I do 25 miles round commute every day. The gas should be ok. The brake ($2000) and the tire (at least $950) ARE expensive.

I had a lot of problems with my wipers -- the dealer replaced all kinds of parts but eventually replaced the arms with an updated set and that took care of the problem. But .......... mine still likes new wipers. I get the OE Bosch blade set from Autohaus for $35.00. Bosch makes different compounds -- the soft ones work best -- but they don't last very long. They are about $75 dollars at the dealer --- and then they charge to install them!! I may use two sets every 12 months.
Some of the Porsche rims are easy to mark up -- and the car is difficult to parallel park ............. The rims are a minor problem --- Its the gas and the tires that will get you

I did some research on two forums about snow tires. Looks like it's not necessary to get 18" wheels. A lot people just put snow tires on 20" wheels and they are happy with it. The 20" tires are similar price with 18" ones, $200-$300 each. Basically there are three choices, from Bridgestone, Michellin, and Pirelli. Pirelli is Porsche certified.
