If you live in scandinavia, you can use studded tyres and chains, but these will not fit on the 18" wheels.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

In the UK there is no need to use winter tyres, in my opinion. We do not have prolonged periods of icy and snowy conditions. The difference between winter and summer is usually bigger gaps between the tread blocks, more aggresive pattern and narrower profile. It is designed to push the snow/slush out of the way and allow the rubber to get to the tarmac. The speed rating is lower too. Since our winters our usually wet, rather than snowy, they will offer no real advantage. On the dry days you will have less grip and they will wear faster. If you live in scandinavia, you can use studded tyres and chains, but these will not fit on the 18" wheels. Unless you plan touring somewhere in northern Europe in winter, I wouldn' t bother. The odd couple of days a year, you can take the day off, work from home or use another car (if you have one).

POST 2Original post

This is slightly premature but has anyone any experience of winter tyres on their 996. I now have a 2nd set of 18 inch rims that I am tempted to get winter tyres for. I know the Pirelli W240 Snowsprt is the only N rated one but any recommendations about other brands. I only use N rated summer tyres usually.
