Wheels and Tires: Description and Operation

Wheels And Tires







The new Cayenne models feature newly developed wheels in a unique design in sizes from 18 to 21 inches. During the development of each wheel, great emphasis was placed on lightweight construction combined with an attractive and unique design. As a result, the wheels ideally complement the attractive new exterior design of all Cayenne models. The production technologies used (flow forming and forging) contribute to reducing weight and therefore also improve driving comfort by reducing the unsprung masses.

Standard wheels

The Cayenne is equipped with the 18-inch Cayenne wheel.

Tires

A new generation of tires will also be introduced with the new Cayenne models. These tires offer improved performance, handling, rolling resistance, tire wear and weight. Tires generally offer a high potential for reducing fuel consumption. The three basic components of all tires were optimized: the rubber mixture, tread design and casing architecture. For a tire to obtain Porsche series approval, it must meet all the demanding specifications down to the very last detail. For this reasons, the tires have the familiar N specification.

Run-flat systems

All the Cayenne models come as standard with a space-saving tire repair system comprising tire sealing compound and an electric pneumatic compressor.
