Default Collapsible Spare Tire....

Hi,

My Cayenne does not have the collapsible spare tire and not wishing to pat the OPC the full retail price for a new one, I was thinking that the spare for a VW Touareg might fit....?

I know that the offsets etc. are the same and the normal alloys are inter-changeable, also as my Cayenne is not a Turbo, I should have no problems clearing the brake calipers....

The Touareg spare has a tire size of 195/80/17 and using a tire calculator, me running 275/40/20 Sport Techno alloys, it's onlt 2% out in overall circumference...

Any thoughts....

Can someone let me know the size of their Cayenne spare tire....?

TIA....

IMO, 2% would be ok for "temporary" driving <45 mph.
