Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Milestar Interceptor AS810 265-50-19 Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 10,000 miles September 30, 2026

These tires were on my Cayenne 3.0d when I bought it. They aren't bad, but they aren't good either. They're mediocre. They might be noisy, but the car has good sound insulation, so you can't hear them..

Landsail LS588 UHP 285-35-22- Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 8,000 miles April 11, 2022
Replaced Pirelli pzeros with landsail ls588 UHP car felt immediately better to drive handling more precise on dry and wet roads. Stopping distance was excellent on dry and wet road. Noise levels were very acceptable for such a large tire. 8000 miles just ove half worn. Brought 4 tires for £500 instead of £1300 for the Pirellis.

Replaced 4 tires with landsail LS588 previously had Pirelli these are better in every way and a quarter of the price. Wear is a little more but does it matter at there price point.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S -35-22- Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 5,000 miles December 5, 2021
This review is so accurate in testing the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 S. I experienced the same difficulty in the snow back in February 2021 in driving my car in the snow. my tires back in February had very good tread depth and still do. My car is four-wheel drive with 285/35/22 and I literally couldn't get off my drive up a very tiny slope and almost ended up putting my car through my wall in trying to get off my drive. I had to put sand down in my tire tracks on my drive to put my car back about 10-ft to park it back where it first was in the morning. please do not attempt to drive with these tires in the snow because it is literally impossible even with four-wheel drive to drive in the snow with these tires on your car. ❄ ❄ ❄ But in the summer and in wet conditions these tires are absolutely brilliant and i cannot recommend them highly enough for these conditions

Infinity Ecomax 295-40-21- Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 12 miles January 4, 2021
I have these on my Porsche Cayenne 3.0 diesel and they are fine. I don't have a heavy foot and tend to have a chilled out driving style. Driven approx 15,000 miles in last 12 months and can't fault them. Will be buying again especially at 85 per tire fitted.

Michelin CrossClimate SUV 275-45-20-W Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 1,000 miles June 5, 2019
I don't feel compelled to often voice my views unless something is really bad....this is a first and I'd like to offer up my thoughts on the Excellent Cross Climate - they really are as good (11 out of 10) as other before me say. I've had them for just over 1000 miles now and the difference they've made is outstanding.

I replaced 4 Pirelli Scorpions All Season Verdes (N0 rated) that weren't fitted for long before I knew id made the wrong choice (see my other review on these). These Michelins are a world apart. I was sceptical as they're fairly new, a v shaped tread pattern and not Porsche rated - but they should be! Grip in all weathers is the best I've experienced, even spirited driving and gives me confidence in the cars ability to perform as it should. Hard braking no longer activates the ABS in dry, they really do 'stick' even in hotter weather. You can feel with your hand the difference in compounds to touch, the Michelin is softer and stickier moulding to the surface as the claim and the Pirellis hard and unforgiving.

The ride is quiet and noticeably softer but best of all its got rid of the tram lining, severe vibration, and awful balance issues I had with the Scorpions. Even after 1000 miles and several alignments there was some funny wear patterns emerging on them.

I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for a good all season tire with a summer bias for UK weather. Although not tested in the snow and ice yet I'm sure they'd get me home safe.

One point to note is that the tread depth from new is a little under 7mm and with such a soft compound and heavy car I wonder if it will go the distance...having said that I don't really care I would just keep buying them,at such a good price point to - they're that good. I'd also be interested to see how the tread holds up to as I have seen reports and pictures of chunks of tread missing on higher mileage tires that have maybe been used on rougher roads in Europe.

I'm extremely pleased with them, and would highly recommend them as the best All Season Tire for the UK especially AWD and 4WD vehicles that do 90% on road. I wouldn't be surprised if we see them more as OEM fitment in the future.

Michelin Latitude Sport 275-45-20-W Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel 7,000 miles April 11, 2015
Worst tire I've ever bought. Worn out after 6 months and 7000 miles. Michelin just say it's because the car is heavy but they are NO tires designed and manufactured for the porsche cayenne.

I have had these tires on my car for 23k miles and they are still holding up well.There is even wear and no degradation at all.
They do a great job in snow/mud/dry and wet

I am really happy with these tires, I don't think they're noisy at all.
