I'm putting summer tires on and want to know the following before I order the tires.
Will 275x40x22 fit my cayenne? I know that 285x35x22 will work but want more rubber.

thanks in advance

I don't see why that wouldn't work, although I would suspect that the setup would be quite heavy and the speed readout would be that much more off.

 

I would use this calculator:

..and not exceed anything with a max tire diameter of 30". My summer 305/35/22 are technically 30.4" and rub slightly when turning full lock. However, my pepper is also lowered.

 

305 is a lot of rubber do you have pictures of that and what is the offset/rim do you have. I check with usarim and he does not have the 295x35x22 Thanks

 

I use my Cayenne for a great riding SUV. Your ride will suffer greatly with anything near that tire set up. In fact, if you read some past threads on the issue, you'll find that many people using 22's and other larger rims, are pitching them as quickly as possible to go back to 18 or 19.

 

disagree. I've tried 18, then go to 20, then 21, then 19, now again 275-45-20 and will be 21 with bit more rubber. 20 is best choice for riding, 21 look better.

305-35-22 is acceptable size, can confirm this.
