I had the BFG KO2's on my old Lexus GX470 and they did great here in Colorado with the cold and snow. Our 15 Cayenne Diesel drops out of CPO warranty end of June. It's going to the dealer next week for a thorough inspection so they can fix anything that's wrong.
I'd take yours to another dealer and see if they'll fix the oil leak. My dealer told me that the emissions warranty covers pretty much the entire engine, so theoretically they should cover the oil leaks.
E-Motion Engineering has a bunch of overlanding stuff for the cayenne. I watched the Matt Farah review of their diesel but couldn't find the front bumper they had on their cayenne on their website. In a few years I'm going to grab the cayenne diesel back from my wife and run it as my DD. Not sure if I'll keep my current setup of 20" 3 seasons and 19" snows or try and go with a 18" AT setup instead.
Time for a tune once your warranty runs out!

I'm a bit miffed by the dealer response on the oil leak as well, I've talked with the service manager at that dealership multiple times and sometimes he stated it would all be fixed and sometimes not. This manager also stated the emissions warranty expires at 100K, which is false, one of the service advisors at the same dealer confimred it's good for the 4yr/48k extension (2023 and 130k Miles in my case) .
I spoke with a different dealer service mgr and they stated the same thing, flip-flopped on answers both times. The next closest dealer in Ann Arbor I haven't talked to yet, but I'm guessing I'll get a similar response.
The warranty does explicitly state the entire long block is covered, to me that includes oil leaks. I've read that some dealers and Porsche itself is denying the emissions warranty for oil leaks and stating they are "seepage", since the fix is a total engine-out replacement of all seals on the engine. That's a 1-2month job depending on the shop, maybe we'll save that for the winter.
