Cayenne turbo Tire suggestions

[jmauck]

I have a 2005 Cayenne turbo with the original continental 255/55R18 tires on it. I knew when I made the purchase I would need to replace these soon but figure they would last 6-12 months. wrong! I blame it on the turbo. Anyway I am looking for suggestions for tires. I do some spirited driving and would like somthing that holds good but that I can use in the rain and some snow (northern VA/D.C. area) if need be. I am trying to stay away from the summer only tires as I do not have room to store a second set of winter shoes for the car. I have looked at tirerack but I get as many 2 and 3 ratings as I do 8 and 9s. Also there seems to be an almost total lack reviews from the tubo owners except some bad reviews. Any ideas?

Also I have owned Porches before but not a Cayenne do I need to be worried with road force balancing like I did with my 996 and boxster?

Thanks

Nokian WRG2 SUV. One hellacious tire and you will never get stuck. Also look at Michelin Latitude Alpin in same size. Excellent tire but soft and will be gone in 20K.
