If one wants a Cayenne for road racing.... 19 or 20 inch tires are great. For highway or off road... the 18 inch size is more desirable from a ride quality and durability stand point. On my second Cayenne Turbo (2005 from 2004) I immediately put on some Khumo tires which I ran 38,000 miles, yes 38,000, and had about 5/32 left when I took them off because of the noise. I have over 50,000 miles on the vehicle now. Run flat tires may be great for riding in junk yards, etc, but with the tire inflation options on the Turbo or any with the air suspension, I see little advantage. In 400,000 miles on Porsches, I can remember only two flats and this is going back to my first 1600N coupe in 1960. But maybe I have memory problems at my age, ha, ha, ha....

Replying to: fantine (Jun 02, 2008 1:20 pm) Any regrets for trading the 993 for the 996? My dealer had a pristine '95 993 several months ago that attracted a lot of interest and went for more than they could have gotten for a newer 996. As a matter of fact, the guy that bought it traded a '02 996 C4 and had to come out of pocket.

We are about to take delivery of our new Cayenne Turbo 2008. This is our 2nd Turbo we had such of a great experience with the first one. Question: Is the roadblock autobahnd would be a good thing to get? (I live in the New England area). I was worry about discoloration of the paint from the film, my car will be black. Any feedback for those who have this. Also they are offering a protection package like brake pads (one set) battery, engine belts and hoses, 1 set of wiper blade, Road hazard 4year/50K for $1192 The thing is my old Cayenne Turbo had 53K 3 1/2 year and I did not need any of this yet my brakes are still good so it seems that it would be a waste of money. Thanks for your input, Viggie
