I have the Conti's DWS on my 20" Sport Technos, great tread wear, smooth ride, nice tread pattern and good performance. Highly recommend!!

Hey, Luvair--which Cayenne are you towing your 5000 lb trailer with? I am trying to decide between the diesel and the S. Are you happy with how you tow?

New to me 08 CTT with 20" new Pirelli winter tires coming my way.

However I live in Austin -- we don't have winters.

So I plan to pull the winter tires and swap with summer tires.

Normal spirited driving -- and despite having a track membership -- it
will only see the paddock and occasional tow something to said paddock.

TR has Hankooks Ventus for $766 after rebate.... Next tire is $200/set more. PZero's

I've had good results on my Boxster with Hankooks

thoughts/suggestions?

Mike

My oem Pirelli's were dead at 12,000 mi and I replaced them with 275/45R-19 Michelin Latitude Tour HP N0 Porsche XL (Tire Rack). They finally died at 41,000 so mileage was excellent. Also pleased with grip and noise so I installed a new set. dave

The Conti's are quiet(even when worn out), grippy and track great in the rain. I run the same size as you. Mine have worn very evenly as well.
