Either no change or slight improvement in ride comfort. Subjective assessment, to be sure.
The PCM is complaining about a "tire change", and a tire indicator is illuminated on the instrument panel. The rear tires are slightly different age/mileage, because I had a puncture over Christmas and a Porsche dealer put on one new Pirelli for me while I waited. Therefore the two rears are slightly different diameters. The dealer must have PIWIS'd the message away.
Is there a non-OBD way to get rid of the "tire change" message? I tried the steering wheel scroll menus and flipped through the PCM and didn't find anything. I'm RTFM now.
Swapped the stock 19s to 21 RS Spyders. Also added painted wheel arch extensions. Paint shop did amazing color match. Took me about 3hrs to install the arches…not too bad, just lots of fasteners on the fender liners
Original 19s and stock arches
Freshly painted
New arch extensions on. Wheels mounted. Still dirty…started raining
Great looking Cayenne and good choice in wheels and mod (arches). I think you will like the Scorpions, I have been satisfied so far. They seem to be wearing a bit fast but that also could be user-induced.
Nice looking 955, how long have you owned it? How is it spec'd/optioned?
Drove down to Baltimore to visit some friends. Used PID most of the way; pretty slick. Although I don't like how it resets the cruise speed to the speed limit somewhat randomly. Wish there was some way to turn that off. I guess just using ACC solves that problem. Also the roads in Baltimore really suck. So many potholes.

Thanks. I’ve had the 955 for 5yrs. Picked it up with 60k miles , now 115k and it’s been awesome. Also have a 993 to round things out. The 955 is my go anywhere, anytime driver. Running Scorpions on the 955 as well.
Another reason to go Coupé… the rear window doesn’t get covered with rain/mud pulled up off the road. There is a reason they don’t have rear wipers—they don’t need one since they are not subject to the terrible aerodynamic design the of regular SUVs.
One more potential benefit of the Coupé that would be hard to measure is that the windshield is laid back a little more which should reduce the incidence of rock chips ever so slightly…
