Lengthy tread life is not the top priority in choosing performance tires. Handling, traction and ride are equally important and outweigh long life characteristics in all Porsches.
If that is your priority there are many tires that will fill the bill. However you will sacrifice some of the "Porscheness" that made the car so appealing in the first place.

Share a story somewhat on point.
My Cayenne Turbo came with Pirelli PZero Rosso and I ran through them in maybe 15,000 miles.
Replaced with Porsche approved N Rated Latitude HP Tour and I already passed 15,000 and am anticipating 30,000 or more out of the Michelines. Feels just as good handling wise and the sound and comfort is ibetter. So there is a way to retain the Porsche feeling and get a longer lasting tire.

10,000 is the max. I've got P Zero's for the snow as well. They have been great! Put on new Bridgestone rubber for the summer. I've been pretty happy but I don't see them going past 10,000 either
