These may not be ideal for serious winter climates but are probably a good choice for Seattle.

It is hard to say definitively without testing real winter tires directly against the AS3s but they seemed to do just fine combined with the Porsche 4S system.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It snowed a foot in the mountains near Seattle yesterday so today I decided to try out my 2003 C4S on a 300 mile drive over three passes. The roads actually were well cleared and just wet but I did go through a couple of unplowed parking lots at Stevens Pass ski area. When I pulled in, I saw a Subaru being pushed to get it moving so I knew the snow was pretty wet and slippery. I have a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s. These may not be ideal for serious winter climates but are probably a good choice for Seattle. It is hard to say definitively without testing real winter tires directly against the AS3s but they seemed to do just fine combined with the Porsche 4S system. In addition they are very quiet and smooth. It made for a fun excursion. Now the car is in serious need of a wash.

POST 2Original post

Are they all season or strictly summer tires?

POST 3Original post

I think they are all season tires, right? People who don't drive their Porsche in the snow are missing out on a fun experience. I wouldn't do it with summer tires, but with proper rubber it's really fun. Up in the mountains where I live, I need proper winter tires. All seasons simply don't cut it. The 4S looks great in the snow!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are all-season tires tuned toward performance.

POST 5Original post

The challenge with all season tires is they compromise both warm and cold weather performance. On my C4 I run Michellin Super a Sports in the spring summer and fall and Blizzaks in the winter. So I feel that I get the best performance all year round. Of course in the Chicago area we have a distinct difference between winter and the other seasons. Perhaps not so much in Seattle?
