Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I plan on purchasing a 2003 911 Targa and was wondering what size tires/rims for winter driving is recommended? I called a rep from Discount Tires and he says 225/45/17 square setup should work, and I was wondering what you thought about this suggestion? Thanks, Dan

POST 2Original post

Lots of things will work but 225/45-17 would look pretty agricultural. Other options depend on how serious you are about winter driving. 225/40-18 and 255/35-18 sets are available in real winter tires. If All-Season tires would work for your climate, 225/40-18 and 285/35-18 is an option. It also depends on what wheel size you have. If the car you are looking at is all-wheel drive (C4) you need to match diameters pretty closely. Damon at Tire Rack might be worth calling.

Interesting. I ran the recommended sizes on my 996 C4S.

POST 6Original post

I run 225/45 R17's on all four for the winter and it works great. Summer is a different setup with 18's with wider lower profile tires.
