All three tires are approved in 21in and 22in sizes and feature XL markings, indicating increased load capacity.
The SportContact 7 is a summer tire designed for responsive handling. Its rubber compound and tread pattern are optimized for grip and braking performance on dry and wet roads, while also providing stability at high speeds.
The new SportContact 7 Force has been developed for higher performance and stability. Its adaptive tread pattern and rubber compound have been designed to improve handling and power transfer under demanding conditions, while retaining suitability for everyday driving.
For the Cayenne E4, Porsche recommends the WinterContact TS 860 S for colder months.
