Introduction to the New Porsche Cayenne and MICHELIN Tyres
Recharge. Then go. With MICHELIN Tyres.
For over 20 years, Michelin and Porsche have co-developed tyres for every generation of Cayenne. This time, for the first fully electric Cayenne E4, we brought the story somewhere unexpected: a tennis court, with Eva Lys.
What do Eva Lys, Porsche's Cayenne E4, and MICHELIN tyres have in common? Eva lives with spondyloarthritis. Her sport taught her that force alone doesn’t win you control. Precision does. It’s a philosophy Michelin knows well, and one that shaped every decision made in developing the tyre for this new Cayenne.
Why Choose MICHELIN Tyres for the Porsche Cayenne?
Electric SUVs place higher demand on tyres. To meet these challenges, Porsche partnered with Michelin to develop N-marked (NG0) tyres specifically for the Cayenne. By integrating tyre development early in the design process, Porsche and Michelin ensure that the new Cayenne delivers consistent performance over time, without compromise.
Innovations in MICHELIN Tyre Technology for Electric SUVs
Low rolling resistance to extend battery range
Advanced tread compounds to withstand high torque
Optimized sidewall design to improve aerodynamics
Enhanced bead architecture for a precise fit between tyre and rim
Reinforced tread pattern for durability under heavy loads
Use of Aramid materials to manage extreme torque forces
These innovations help address one of the biggest concerns for EV drivers: range anxiety, ensuring that performance does not come at the expense of efficiency.
Understanding N-Marked Tyres: The NG0 Standard
What Are N-Marked Tyres?
Porsche’s N-marking is a certification that identifies tyres specifically developed and approved for Porsche vehicles. For the Cayenne E4, a new designation—NG0—has been introduced, marking a new generation of tyres designed for Porsche electric platforms.
