I run Hankook W300 Icebears and have been happy with them.

A couple days ago he looked like he was having a seizure when I stopped both of them to adjust his collar.

Yes, I've been racing Masters for a long time, and running the program here in the Rockies for the past 10 years.

If you are going to use the same tire front and rear, on a Porsche, in a 17" size, you're stuck with the Pirelli - it certainly wasn't my first choice.
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.

Put on last Tues. hoping for colder temps so the Mtns. can make new snow, or better yet, have some natural snow. Skis are waxed and tuned and ready to go, just like my 996.
Nice Steve... the ONLY worry in the snow is sanded roads and snow depth... and salt... maybe mud inside, and be careful not to scratch it when putting skis in and out, and dont park near SUV kid haulers with the flinging poles, and paying for Premium at the pass, and rinse it off when home, and put it away after a quick drying of the brakes, and keep fresh CD's in the (OH wait, do you have a CD holder er a cubby?)
anyhow, that's the ONLY worry
3 days of skiing in a row, I am one tired/sore OLD MAN !
Good for you Ed, 3 days already. Once I take my skis and boots and misc. gear, I leave it at the Mtn. for the season. I have a locker on slope so hauling equipment back and forth isn't an issue.Don't have a CD, but usually include my ipod for the ride.
just to tease - and because its rare in WA. we had about 4 inches of the fluff on top of our ususal mash potato crap yesterday....it was heaven!
40 minutes from my home is a low pass (3000ft) with 4 ski "places" (hard to call them resorts because they suck crap!) but its close and cheap and great for the kids - we have seasons passes to all 4 (about 20 + chairs all together) and plan to wear out the pavement between here and there this winter
Skied Friday, Saturday and Sunday Living on Advil today !!
P-cars and snow tires go well together during the winter months. I've got 16 days on the slopes so far, but we start our season a bit earlier than most.
I haven't been sore yet, but I have also yet to wreck and at 50+ I just don't heal like I used to.
I've got my first series of races coming up this weekend, so there's no time like the present to prepare! I might not get 100 days in this year, but I should do at least 75-80 days...let it snow!!
Barn & others with Carrera on Snow tires? What tires do you have - and sizes? I have been considering Snow/Ice tires for my C 4 and Tire Rack only shows one type in the 17 inch sizes 205/255 fitment. These are N Spec tires and way to expensive for 3 months use. I was wonder if I can use 205/50 and 245/45 Michelin X-Ice. I have these on my Audi and they are amazing - but not offered in a 255/40. Any suggestions?
I could only find one size of tire for my 996 in a 17" wheel. It was the Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport. This isn't a snow and ice tire like the Blizzak or the Michelin X-Ice, it's a performance winter tire. That is the only fitment available for the Porsche 17" wheel. A set of 4 is $676.00. If you go to an 18" wheel, you can get into a Blizzak or a Michelin X-Ice - but those are a bit more expensive. A set of 4 will set you back $836.
I had always heard that the smaller wheel is better for winter traction, so I went with a wheel and tire package for the 17's. Actually, I got a great deal. Bought a set of 6 winter tires and 4 wheels from a Rennlister for just over $900 including shipping.

DAMN !!!
No wonder James is SO happy! - I GAVE him those LM25's WITH TT wheels for (not telling)
I ran 17 LM25's on my 996 in winter = awesome, ask James, he has them on now
Yes, I've been racing Masters for a long time, and running the program here in the Rockies for the past 10 years. Passion or obsession?! Kinda like a P-car.
With all this talk of snow fever, i am helping out a friend selling a barely used winter wheel and tire package with OE Carrera III 18 inch wheels with Nokian N spec winter tires, the ad is in the 997 and member to member ads.
enjoy the winter
Yes, yes, yes, back in 2008 and maybe even 2009, Bridgestone built the Blizzak in both a 205/50R17 and 255/40R17. And, there are 11 different models of winter performance tires or studless winter tires in the 205/50R17 size. BUT, and it's a BIG BUT, there now is only one winter tire made in a 255/40R17 - that's the Pirelli Winter SnowSport tire. If you are going to use the same tire front and rear, on a Porsche, in a 17" size, you're stuck with the Pirelli - it certainly wasn't my first choice. My first choices would have been studless snow tires. But it wasn't available.

I feel like I should be putting snow tires on my cars. It's supposed to be 32 tonight. For tomorrows morning walk I had to dig out the dog jacket for the ***** footer Boston Terrier we have. A couple days ago he looked like he was having a seizure when I stopped both of them to adjust his collar.
All my cars have summer tires. We'll see how the A4 Quatto does in the clay pit I'm going to tomorrow.
