Right now I am running 255/55/18 Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza on my 08 Cayenne these tires have been AWESOME but I want a wider look and possibly fill in the wheel gap a bit. 275 is the widest I am comfortable with on a 9" rim but the problem is throwing off the speedo and I have no way to fix it the closest setup to keep the speedo in check is 275/50/18 and there is no tire for that size I like, my options for what I want is 275/60/18 which throws it off to where at 60mph I am actually going 64mph, if I go with 275/55/18 its only off by 1mph so maybe I should just go with that setup...275/55/18?? Looking at the Duler HL Alenza, General Grabber HTS but the only tire I can find in the 275/55/18 is the Michelin Lat Tour which is not a bad tire:confused:

We'd be happy to help you. Do you have aftermarket wheels? If so, what is the offset?

No I have the stock 18" wheels on the Cayenne they are 9" wide currently running the Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza in a 255/55/18 but want a wider stance like a 275 looking for this tire or similar all season tire but really want good wet traction, hwy comfort.
