Default Which suspension setting do you use?

Which suspension setting(s) do you generally use during daily driving. If you alternate settings, please explain.
M.Y. and model of Cayenne?

Personally, I use:
1) Comfort setting during summer months with my 21's
2) Normal setting during winter months with my winter-equipped 20's
3) Sport setting when I feel like ripping about town

2009 GTS

I alternate during my commute, some places I am in Sport, in bumper to bumper I use Comfort to stop me hitting the guy in front if I cough. I use normal and normal height when its a storm on in snow otherwise I always run low

I typically use normal/low. I occasionally mess with the ride control or suspension height settings, but not too often.

Haven't had the GTS too long but I've spent the most time in Normal and ride height 1 lower than mid-height. Have played with it a little though, it's nice to have options.

The poll should have an "all depending on conditions" answer. I can't answer that poll.

I typically use Comfort/Normal when the Wife is in the car (which is most of the time), but greatly prefer Sport/Low when it's just me...

I think it's important to remember that you should have your alignmnet done in the setting that you use most frequently. It does impact tire wear if you drive lots of miles in a setting different than the way you had the car aligned.

Good point and hence one of the reasons for my poll. Since my last alignment, all four outer edges of my 21's have worn prematurely. My tire specialist has chalked up to over-use of the comfort suspension setting. Unless I'm in deep snow or rough terrain, I always ride at one notch below normal.
