Have you informed your insurance company that you are not using Porsche approved tires?

I guess not do i have to ? the only diff is the speed rating and with 6 ply construction they can handled the weight of the veh and less chances of getting flats. I am very happy with them trust me is a huge diff from continentals. I guess if porsche was going to pay for the tires they will get to pick but since is my money is my choice.

The point I am trying to illustrate is that you are using tires that are NOT Porsche approved. In the unlikely (and unfortunate, for you or others that could be involved) event that you get into an accident, your insurance company could void your insurance and deny the claim, since you have altered your vehicle, based on the manufactures recommendations.

I see your point. And I thank you for the information and the concern. Our veh gets about 50% off road use and the all season porsche approved tires just dont work in a off road situations.

Ok, I'm no insurance guru, but I've owned a lot of vehicles and don't recall consulting any Infiniti-approved list when replacing the tires on my sedan, etc.... I can understand liability concerns if one were to use tires that were inadequate for the load or negligently unsuitable, but specs on the mfr web site shows their load capacity to be well above the weight of the Cayenne as well as approved for on road use. Vehicle alteration by tire, at least in this case, seems a stretch.

I'd be delighted to be enlightened by specific factual sources that indicate negligence if tires not specifically approved by a given vehicle maker are employed.

I have flipped two lifted trucks that werent "approved" suspension and insurance company always paid... I have since grown up and dont have cars that will flip but my point is... If you read your policy they have to cover any tire that is approved by the highway institution for safety not Porsche. Porsche doesnt have a say in this as long as the tire can handle the load rating and speed rating up to the speed limit of 75 mph in the USA and trust me those tires can hold the car at 75 mph anything above that you are taking your life into your own hands. I like to do this every day thats why my tires are approved for faster speeds then my cars but its your choice not Porsche's or the insurance companies so don't worry.
