Wheels/Tires - Approved Summer Wheels/Tires/Spacers: Overview
Cayenne (9PA)21/08 ENU 4440
Manufacturer's Certificate
Approved Tires, Wheels and Spacers
NOTE:
This Manufacturer Approval list replaces Manufacturer Approval No. 1/07 dated August 20, 2007.
Vehicle Types:
Cayenne/Cayenne S/Cayenne GTS/Cayenne Turbo/Cayenne Turbo S
Model Year:
As of 2008
Information:
Approved wheels and tires for Cayenne Turbo S - approval status: April 2008.
WARNING:
Driving with different tires (mixed tires)
- Uncontrollable vehicle handling
--> Only use tires of the same make and type, with the same speed index and the same specification code (N0, N1, N2,...) on a vehicle.
Winter Tires:
Winter tires are generally designed for use in the low temperature range and offer distinct advantages for winter - time road conditions, such as snow - covered and icy roads, compared with all-season tires.
Specially developed tread compositions and tread patterns have provided targeted improvements in the winter properties while maintaining safe handling on wet and dry roads.
All-Season Tires:
Targeted optimization of the tire compositions and treads has produced and good compromise between the driving characteristics at summer temperatures and driving safety on snow and ice.
The all-season tires approved for the Cayenne feature M+S identification and are suitable for winter driving.
Summer Tires:
NOTE:
"N..." = Specification code of the tire, e.g. "N0", "N1", "N2",... The complete "N..." code of the tires in question must be shown on the tire sidewall near the tire type designation. Only tires of the same make and type, with the same speed index and the same specification code may be used on a vehicle.
The tire makes and types tested and approved by Porsche are only "XL" (Extra Load) tires.
Instructions for correct mounting of the tires are also given on the tire sidewall.
Arrow with inscription "Rotation" = directional mounting.
"Inside/Outside" inscription = mounting on specified side only.
Arrow with both inscriptions "Rotation" and = directional mounting on specified side only.
"Inside/Outside"
NOTE:
If a tire is damaged and it is not possible to determine with absolute certainty that there is no ply damage - with all of its consequences - or if the tire was thermally and/or mechanically overloaded due to a loss of pressure or other prior damage, replace the tire in question for safety reasons.
Repairs must not be carried out on "V", "W", "Y" and "ZR" tires and inner tubes must not be used in tubeless tires. Please advise your customers accordingly.
If temperatures fall to below 45 degrees F./7 degrees C, we recommend that you always fit winter tires on the vehicle because the vehicle handling features of summer tires are not as good at low temperatures. Extremely low temperatures can cause permanent damage to summer tires.
WARNING:
Incorrect tire pressure
- Uncontrollable vehicle handling
--> Adjust the tire pressure according to specifications. Never allow the pressure to fall below the minimum pressure.
--> Check age of tires. Replace tires that are not more than 6 years old.
--> Perform visual inspections.
--> Use new rubber valves at every tire change.
--> Use only tires recommended by Porsche.
Tire Pressure:
Cayenne(V6)
Cayenne S/Cayenne GTS
Cayenne Turbo/Cayenne Turbo S
NOTE:
The specified air pressures apply only to the tire makes and types approved by Porsche (including all tire types: Winter, all-terrain, all-season and summer) and are specified for cold tires (approx. 68 degrees F/20 degrees C). In vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system, use the rocker switch to select the type of load on the on-board computer via "Main menu > Tire Pressure > Settings > Load".
Sizes
WARNING:
Wheel electronics units not detected, incorrectly secured or loose on vehicles without Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
- Risk of damage to wheels and/or tires
- Uncontrollable vehicle handling
--> Do not mount wheels with wheel electronics units on vehicles without TPM.
