Porsche will void your warranty if you install these and they see them. They will not install them at the dealer either.
Get your info straight - you have access to all of it right there in front of you.

Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow at the 21" size ARE NOT "N" RATED, stop spreading false information! N rating means they are Porsche approved, and these are NOT! Your supervisor / co-worker called me and I talked with him about it. I see you edited your post to remove the erroneous info (previously you wrote that the 21" were Porsche approved).

The post never said that the 21" were N rated. It originally said that The Scorpion Ice and Snow were, but listed no specific sizes. I edited it to reflect the 255/55 18 was, and then went back in and added 235/60 18 and 255/50 19, and that's what you see now.
The post NEVER said 295/35 21 was N rated. I was just trying to make it more clear.
If you have any questions, call me.

My dealership has not only seen these tires on my 21's but they mounted and balanced them for me......

Take a chill, man, Damon never said the 21s were N rated. In fact, I had copied and pasted what he wrote into a document to save on my PC for future use and this is what the original post said word for word:
"My overwhelming top seller has been Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow. They have excellent ice traction and are N rated (255/55 18, 235/60 18, 255/50 19 but NOT 295/35 21 )." Damon
Notice the NOT regarding the 21s.
Can't stand when someone talks smack and THEY don't have their facts straight.

I have Michelin Alpin HP on my Cayenne Turbo now. They are awesome! I have them in the 18s (255 55).

This is my first winter with the Michelin Alpins -- I have nothing but great things to say about them. They have performed great in both cold weather and snow. I have them in the 275/40/20 configuration. The Alpins are definitely confidence inspiring.

I bought 18" Pirelli ice and snows a couple of years ago from Tire Rack--I got Mercedes spec because they were out of stock on the N spec. Figured if they were good enough for MB they would be okay on my 06 CS--since I don't drive anywhere near the limit when on snow and ice. So far Ive been real pleased with the performance. Mounted the tires on 18" turbo wheels purchased off Craig's list for $250.

I have 20" GTS replicas on my 2005 Cayenne Turbo. I put Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/45-20 tires on. Looks and drives great.
