all weather tyres for cayenne, much better?

[CraigVmax]

Hi all,

was looking for winter tyres but have seen a set of alloys with all weather tyres, are these radically better than my normal ones or radically worse then proper winter m&s tyres?

Not much experience with all weather tyres, but I've just ordered a set of vredestein wintrac x xtremes for my cayenne.

I'd guess that all weather tyres are kind of in the middle, ie not a brilliant winter tyre, nor a brilliant summer tyre, just average at both.

But, like I said I've never used them! But I have used proper winter tyres and the difference is substantial, and well worth while.

Porsche run them on their own cars at the Silverstone test track - so no issues for them! I've had Mud and Snows for the last three winters and only had to replace them now for the coming season. Make a huge difference in our new mega snowy winters!

The Continental 'All Season' tyres, offerred as an option on the new Cayennes, are an excellent year round tyre, with no apparent compromises.

Buy EVO mag. They did a test on Winter and All Season Tyres this month with summer Tyres as a reference point.

No worries. I'd have posted the findings but can't remember the detail. It's a good and timely read though!
