2 Answers
The Cayenne has 8 tire models, which are 285/40R21 and 275/45R20. In 285/40R21, the first number 285 represents the tire width of 285MM, 40 indicates that the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 40%, meaning the cross-section height is 40% of the width, and 21 represents the rim diameter of 21 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. In 275/45R20, the first number 275 represents the tire width of 275MM, 45 indicates that the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 45%, meaning the cross-section height is 45% of the width, and 20 represents the rim diameter of 20 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Cayenne is equipped with Michelin tires, featuring aluminum alloy wheels, and the spare tire is non-full size.

If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also carries the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented in Pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, ZG for steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

As an owner who has driven several Cayenne models, I've noticed that tire specifications vary significantly with the configuration. The base version typically comes with 19-inch wheels, fitted with 265/50 R19 tires, often using Pirelli's Scorpion Verde all-season tires from the factory, balancing fuel efficiency and comfort. Upgraded models like the Cayenne S might feature 20-inch wheels with 275/45 R20 tires, possibly from Michelin's Latitude Sport series, offering better grip. High-performance versions such as the Turbo come with 21 or 22-inch wheels, with tire sizes like 295/35 R21 or 305/30 R22. These wider tires enhance stability and handling at high speeds but are more expensive and less fuel-efficient. When selecting tires, owners should consult the manual to match the year and model, ensuring the load index and speed rating are appropriate for safe driving. Opting for all-season or performance-oriented tires when replacing them can adapt to various road conditions.
