My P Zero Rossos (255/18) are due for replacement. We get snow often enough (7" yesterday!) that I want to replace them with all-season tires that are quiet and stable at 80 if such an animal exists. I also like the idea of more rubber for our occasional treks on Forest Service roads. I'm leaning towards P Zero Neros but would appreciate reading experiences with any all-seasons on a Cayenne.

I've been relatively happy with the Continental extreme contact dws. The price is right, gives a smooth ride (perhaps a little too soft in the summer) and is reasonably stable on ice/1-2" of snow. Haven't had the need to bury the axles in snow just yet.

I came to these after some Michelin Latitudes. Those wore WAY too fast, but were more confidence inspiring in spirited driving, and were much quieter. They cost about 25% more than the continentals.

My only experience is with the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes that came on our CDs. My wife's were pretty much shot around 20K, and mine have 14K on and will be lucky to see 20K. I did a lot of driving on forest roads for three months when I spent the past summer at our cabin. I am used to getting 50K on tires but from what I read 20K isn't that bad on the Cayenne. They do seem to get nosier as they wear but other than that they are fine. My only other N-spec AS tire choice is Michelin Latitude Tour HP. I was looking at the Nitto NT421Q, which are not N-spec, but have a 75K warranty. Not many reviews on them though.

+1 on the Continentals for light snow/ ice use. I traversed the highest pass in WA in 16 degrees and compact snow and ice and they performed fine at low speeds. I was concerned that they would be hockey pucks. The pass literally closed behind us that day for the winter...

I am moving to Pirelli Scorpions for the season as we spend a reasonable amount of time crossing the passes all over Washington and at the cabin in much deeper snow.

3rd on DWS. Pulled off a worn set for my snows, and will be putting on a new set in the spring. Cautious driving with them in the snow, and you'll get where you need to. Handle well enough in the dry, and they were durable during rocking offroad trips in the CO high country.

I would be interested to hear what everyone has to say about the Pirellis. My Cayenne came with 20" Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season's which were shot after 18K miles and ridiculously loud by that time as well.

My 2013 Diesel came with the PS Verdes, they were worn out around 15K, partly my fault for limited rotations. But I did not like them in the rain so no great loss.

I tried these and think they are great. Very cheap and I think did a great job.

I did get larger sidewalls ... 275-45-20

I have tried Michelin, Pirelli verde all season. They all worn out about 15-17k. They are noisy as well and hard when using manufacturing specified tire pressure. I am now using ContinentalCROSSCONTACT LX20 WITH ECOPLUS TECHNO And so far, it has been great in wet and dry. Quite and soft but good directional handling. It is now assigned to my daughter in saint Louis and doing great in cold weather. As long as the correct tire pressure is observed.

Which manufacturer are you referring to?

We have the Yokohama Parada Spec-X all season on our '05 CTT and they are great. They go through snow really well. I paid $167/tire for 275/40-20. They are available in 18" too.

No problem at 80+ (they are "w" rated). They track well and are quiet.

P Zero Neros were OE on my Mustang and couldn't wait to replace them. I think you will be unhappy with the Neros

4th on recommending the Conti DWS. Great ride...very smooth. I just had the Porsche dealer install and I think they ride better than the Michellin Dimaris. I have not had me' in the rain or snow yet

I've driven up to Tahoe in the winter up to 5 inch snow on Conti DWS. No problem even iced up roads on a hill ascent/descent. But can't beat snow tires like Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice. Even though snow tires I drove them for a year. Mike

I have 19" wheels on my Diesel and had the same wheels on our previous Cayenne S. Both have had Michelin Latitude all season tires and have gotten great mileage. On the previous "S" I got over 40,000 miles of which at least 10,000 were towing. The tires were good in wet and dry and even in snow. Our Diesel now has 31,000 miles on it and I measured the tire tread depth today. All four had between 7 and 8/32 on them. I could not be happier with these tires.

By the way they handle our Texas heat and enjoyable highway speeds well.
