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

Hey DE junkies, Anyone ever use the Porsche Roof Transport System to haul four track tires? I used to do that with my 964 and a rain gutter mounted system. However, now I have an '02 C4S and the track tires are much larger/heavier. So I wonder about the sturdiness of it plugging into the roof with only four tiny bolts. I saw in the Searched Threads that Galun did a neat job with it, but hauled only two tires. So I was wondering if any brave souls out there tried it with four? Thanks, Steve

POST 3Original post

I think Porsche rates it at only 65 lbs. That's a couple of mounted rims right there.

POST 4Original post

The 996 RTS is rated for 75KG/165LBS. Joe has one that he put 4 wheels on. https://rennlist.com/forums/racing-a...-porsches.html

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The Yakima line has some great roof systems. If you get a set of the clamps, I think they call them 'Q towers', and the 48 inch crossbars, you can make a very sturdy mount. This is what I did on my 964, which has rain gutters. It clamps on easily, and does not leave marks of any kind. However, my new 996 does not have rain gutters, and the tire/wheels are much larger. So I wanted to try something similar. I see the one Joe put together. Thanks for the link. Good luck, Steve

POST 6Original post

Auto-XR, Good to know when I graduate back to R-Comps (when my back can handle lifting the tires again). Do you know if his tire rack was custom made or something that is easily ordered online? Thanks in advance,

POST 7Original post

I believe that he had the top part custom made to fit on the mounting racks. You may want to check with him for details.

POST 8Original post

80 mph with 4 tires on the roof ..... I dont want to talk to him
