lots of off-road or even all terrain tires available in 20" rim fitment, but 21" could be tricky...
Did you even look at the actual sizes? Or just google that?

If you look for the actual size say "275/40R20" which is what you mentioned (20" tire) there are NONE in that size. Its not a Jeep where you can fudge the numbers a bit (going taller, wider so on) and still be ok. Thats what Im talking about.

maybe youll find a tire or two out there but instead of trying to make me look like an idiot lets talk **** about the russians instead, mmk cupcake?

wow dude - internet rage much? as a matter of fact, i am a reformed jeepaholic so i know a thing or two about off road tires - i assure you i wasn't in any way trying to make you look like an idiot. sorry you took it that way and had to resort to namecalling like a 3rd grader.

i clearly don't own a porsche cayenne of any trim level, so i'm not aware of the mechanical requirements regarding exact tire size. perhaps you do - care to educate?

You can get a Cayenne with 18" rims as well. There are plenty of off road tires for 18" rims.

And you can get the base model with 17's. My point is msot people who look to buy one of those things dont get the base model.

Whatever you two. Youre just trying to get a rise out of me and sorry, aint gonna work.

I dont need data to know that most of the ones I see say "turbo" on the back. Theres my data.

And Im finished arguing with you. Theres no point, plus theres no way you will make see your point since you didnt make one of your own, you just wanted to point out that I was wrong.

on all terrains? or off road tires? Which one? neither? then whats your point? I could say I see paul walker driving a skyline around my neighborhood "all the time" but without "data" or proof its just heresy.

Wow this thread is getting hostile! Lol. I've been a Porsche tech for over 5 yrs... Most of our Cayenne customers actually do drive base models (v6 or base v8). We see far more v6's than turbos... They also do come with 17's on v6 and 18's on v8 with an option for larger... The wheels on that Cayenne are base v8 18's... They also do come with all terrain and mud/snow tires from the factory for some years.. I've also seen some serious off road tires on a Cayenne... The Cayenne is actually a very capable off road suv from the factory.. In fact the Trans Siberia rally Cayennes aren't even modified much to compete and win on multiple ocasions!
