Hey guys, I wanted to see about trying to get a thread going specifically focused on tires ONLY. Well, we can include wheels as they're obviously related!

I'm a new Cayenne Turbo 958.1 owner, despite the 957 in my name (need to find some admin to help me change it). First-time Porsche owner, period. Super excited to dive into future mods etc. But I bought it with what looks to be some nice aftermarket wheels. And it has snow tires. That's fine for here in Colorado, I want to keep them, but I need to start thinking about a new set of tires for the upcoming summer weather. Ideally, I'd prefer to have an entire set of wheels & tires for each season. Sometimes that's not an option for me, but I at least will keep a set of winters in the garage over the summer and swap them out when we get past Halloween.

I don't know how serious other Cayenne owners are about all-out performance. At least compared to the other Porsche vehicles lol. On other platforms/vehicles I've owned and sooped up over the years, there are a few quality tires I shoot for. Namely, something like the Pilot Sport A/S series from Michelin. Or even the DWS series from Continental. That's for ALL-SEASON general performance, which is usually enough for me here in Colorado with light snow and rain that might fall outside of a traditional "winter" storm with snow and freezing temps that I really want something like what I have already right now, the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Or the Michelin X-Ice is great too.

So, what are some great wheels/tires combos are you running? I'd like to get a list specific to tire sizes as well as wheel dimensions. If money was no obstacle, I'd want the lightest possible wheel. It seems like TireRack is the only place that displays the wheel/rim WEIGHT. Either not available or harder to find through Big O Tires or DiscountTire etc. Right now, I'm running 20" rims, unknown exact width. My current setup looks like the wheels might be able to accommodate a wider tire size, but I'm not sure. Ideally, I'd also like the widest tire possible without rubbing. Has anyone successfully run 10" wide wheels on any Cayenne without rubbing or fitment issues?

Obviously, with larger and wider wheels, the weight is increased. What I've been wondering though is how the wheel + tire combination total weight is. For instance, a 19" wheel is going to use a "larger" tire than the 20" wheel, ya know, maybe more rubber goes on the 19" wheel in aggregate. But I don't know how much weight the rubber adds. I imagine rubber weighs less than the metal wheel.... but still..... I'm happy to go down to a 19" wheel if it helps in finding better tires. Pics of my whip currently for reference:
