#1 of 4 How can I need new tires after only 15,000 miles? by taliaferro3 Nov 08, 2008 (7:03 am)
Hello,   I have a 2006 Cayenne with 15,000 miles on it. Most of my driving is short trips in the suburbs. It was just inspected and my dealer told me the tires barely passed inspection and I would require new tires before winter (I'm in suburban Philadelphia). Coincidentally, my brake pads need to be replaced as well. I guess that's not terribly unusual at 15,000 miles.   Does tire replacement at 15K miles sound right? I've had the BMW X5 and the Mercedes SUV ML?? immediately prior to the Cayenne for three years each, and did the exact same kind of driving and did not have to replace brake pads or tires.   My lease expires in July, so the thought of having to incur these costs for a short period of time is troubling (especially given the economy).   Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: taliaferro3 (Nov 08, 2008 7:03 am) Hi,   Could it be possible the dealer is trying to cash in on you?   15,000 doesn't sound good to me, but then, I am not a cayenne owner, so I don't know about it.   25,000 sounds rite to me.   Any plans to trade in your car when your lease expires.   Since you driven the old x5, the new one is great.

Hello,   Thank you for the replies! I've since read up on the issue on a few other Porsche Cayenne forums, and apparently, it's not that unusual to need replacement tires at 15,000 miles given the weight of the car and the fact that the tires are high performance.   I love the car and hope to get another at lease end, which is something I have never done before (same car twice in a row)!   Thanks again!
