20" summer tires for cayenne ?
so many choices for 20" summers;
I've been running 295-45-20 Conti cross contact UHP's but 10,000 miles is too quick for my wallet.
any other great ideas ? pirelli scorpion and michelin pilot sport are on the list....

Watch load ratings carefully... these are VERY heavy vehicles and some tires of the right size don't have a high enough load rating. Check load rating requirements in owner's manual. Also, on these vehicles, all season tirea may be the best option. For longer tread life look for tires with an "A" Tread Life rating... it's no guarantee of more miles, but the 10,000 mile tires you had were probably B or C for Tread Life. An A should give you 15,000-25,000 miles. Also look for tires that have silica in the rubber compound... it can extend tread life significantly. I'm really happy with Continental DSW all-season tires... no noise, great grip, great road feel, good in rain, but too early to predict ultimate tread life.
