22" Tire Suggestions Please

I have a 2006 Cayenne Turbo S. I'm running the stock 20" wheels with winter tires for the winter months. In the summer I change over to 22" Techart wheels. Last year I ran Michelin 4x4 Diamaris Radial X 285/35R-22 102W. They were OK but I'm driving about 25,000 miles a year and went through them pretty quickly. I'd like to find something less expensive since I have to replace them pretty often. Any opinions on the tires I've listed? For what it's worth I think the BFG, Toyo and Nitto NT 420S have a pretty cool tread pattern.


BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
285/35R-22 106W RN B

Yokohama Parada Spec-X
285/35R-22 XL 106V B

Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR
285/35ZR-22 XL 106W

Nitto NT420S Extreme ZR
285/35R-22 XL 106W XL B

Toyo Proxes S/T
285/35R-22 106W RD

I do not want to sell the 20" wheels. However, I have the brand new original equipment 20" tires I would be willing to sell. They were taken off the car upon delivery and replaced with the winter tires. Tires have no miles on them.

Please note: I have 20's setup and not 22.

Not sure if this helps but I was previously running Michelin 4x4 Diamaris Radial X as well. I didn't want to get a dedicated winter set so I opted for an all season. After reading some reviews I decided to give the Yokohama Parada Spec-X a try.
I've had them for about 5 months now and am happy with the performance. They handled well in snow and rain and they seem to stick/grip better to the roads than the Michelin's.
I definitely recommend them. But you may want to get a review from someone who has experience with the set on 22's.

Thanks onemanclique. I appreciate the information.I believe the Yokohama Parada Spec-X is an all season tire. I just thought since I run dedicated winter tires on the 20's I may as well go with summer tires on the 22's. Hey but if all seasons work as well on the 22" wheels I'm open to it.

Do none of you fit Pirelli Scorpions? Porsche UK driving instructors recommend them.

I had the BFGoodrich tires in 22 and hated them. Very noisy and rough ride after just a couple thousand miles.

I switched to the Yokohamas since and have been very happy with them. I am on my second set and for the price, you can't go wrong. Quiet and smooth ride even with some miles on them. Definitely recommended...

I like the idea of 295 but I'm concerned about 30 series. I've already put a little flat spot in one rim from a chuckhole with the 35's. Do you know the speed and load ratings on the Vredestein Ultrac SUV Sessanta?
Thanks

Do these Vredestein Ultrac SUV Sessanta tires have a rim protection ridge guard to help minimize wheel lip damage?
