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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I now we still even haven't experienced summer weather yet (up in the NE at least) but I can't help think about next winter... I'm still only 3 months in owning my C4 and I was wondering about what I should be looking for as far as winter wheels and tires? What size wheels (are 17s better than 18s in snow and cold)? What brand/size tires? Should I just put all-seasons on my current wheels? TIA for your help. Jeffrey

POST 2Original post

I use 17" Blizzaks on my 996 C2. They work well for me.

POST 3Original post

17 Blizzacks also. Order them NOW as they go outta stock early in the fall. These cars are FUN in the snow.

POST 4Original post

I have used Pirelli, but prefer the 17" Blizzaks. They seem to have better grip and are a lot quieter!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, all. What are my options as far as winter wheels go? I mean if I want to buy used wheels for these what year and model p-car wheels will fit my '01? Thanks, again, Jeff

POST 6Original post

17 dunlop M2; all of the OEM wheels from 99 on should fit from narrow cars and boxster i believe

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. What do you all think of getting OEM wheels from one of the salvage yards that are talked about on the site from time to time?

POST 8Original post

I agree with the 17" Blizzaks. I used them last winter in Chicago on my C4 and they were incredible. Much better than my previous SUV's with all seasons. I bought my winter wheels from a fellow rennlister. See if anybody on the 997 board has a set from their old car they want to sell.
