Default Porsche Cayenne Winter Wheel Package with Snow Tires



GMP Performance has teamed up with RH Wheels and Pirelli Tires to offer a winter wheel and tire package for the Porsche Cayenne owners.

The wheel package consists of a set of four 20x9.0 wheels mounted and balanced with a 275x40x20 tire. RH Wheels are produced in Germany and are TUV approved. The Pirelli tire is a Scorpion Ice & Snow RFT.

TPMS sensors are available (not included in the package price) from the local Porsche dealership and can be installed at the customer's request prior to mounting the tires.


RH AU Wheel and Tire Package (Click Here): The AU Vesuv is a simple and elegant wheel design that is sporty and easy to clean. The wheel is finished in a metallic silver paint and has 10 chrome rivets. The wheel package includes RH center caps and lug bolts. The factory center caps and wheel bolts will not work.



RH NF Wheel and Tire Package (Click Here): The RH NF wheel is a one-piece mesh wheel with a modular design. The face of the wheel has a silver painted finish with counter-sunk chrome rivets. The lip of the wheel is polished with a clearcoat for durability to finish the 3-piece look. The wheel accepts a factory Porsche center cap and the package is sent a RH center cap so you can choose between the two. The wheels also use the factory wheel bolts.

22" version shown on the car.

Does it really make sense to mount winter tires on 20"/22" wheels? Looks great but is it the best choice from a winter driving perspective?

The 20" size is PAG-recommended for winter driving as per their winter tire selection chart.

I also researched what size wheel/tire package to buy for my GTS and in the end, the 20"-series was the best choice for me for both form as well as function.

My owners manual shows that 18/19 and 20" wheels are acceptable. It does not show 22" wheels. The bigger, the better the looks but what do people actually recommend for actual winter use?

I'd say even 20" is not really suitable for winter. Stick to 18" and 19".

I agree with you guys that the 22" is too big. I had posted that up merely for reference. The 20" package seems to be what we are getting a lot of calls on recently so I wanted to post up that as a package for those interested.

Default Winter Tire Size

If you have a choice, go with the smallest wheel size for winter tires, as it gives more deflection in the sidewall for bumps and ruts. I like the look of the larger wheel, but would choose an 18" for winter tires over anything larger.
