Sounds like it's too late to chime in, but check Ebay first ...

I don't have any experience with the Pirelli's but most people use the dunlops for a reason and I would recommend them.

I just spoke with Tire Rack and they told me that the 17inch tire (Pirelli Winter 210, 205/50/17 225/40/17) is the recommened combo for the winter use of the car.

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.

I live in VA so we get some snow, some ice, but it is cold all winter. Does this jive - I've seen lots of posts advancing the Dunlop Wintersports.
Thanks!

I ordered my 17" Rims and dunlop Winter M2s from Tire Rack and they are fantastic winter tires. I don't have any experience with the Pirelli's but most people use the dunlops for a reason and I would recommend them.

Sounds like it's too late to chime in, but check Ebay first ... I bought a set of factory 17" twist rims and factory mounted Dunlop snows from a Porsche dealer for $1200, brand new, still in the crate from Germany. There are deals out there ...

I just got a set of second hand Porsche OEM original equipment 17" rims with brand new Blizzaks from Wheel Enhancements. The price was almost exactly the same as quoted by Tire Rack for a brand new aftermarket look alike. The rims look almost brand new. Having used both Dunlop M2's, Pirelli's and Blizzaks for winter tires, I have found no real discernible difference. Given a choice though I would go with the Blizzaks, they just seem to be quieter and hold the road better.
Ed,
I have the Dunlop M2s on 18" rims and they work great. I'm sure you'll love them. I would think that you should keep the tires inflated and store them on their side _ not |. Other than that hit them with some rubber conditioner and they should be fine for the 6 mos. Enjoy
Funny, Tire Rack told me that Blizzaks were the preferred package with turbostyle 17's. Seems they "fly" with the option that makes them the most money---or it really doesn't make a difference. Let the buyer beware!! I did take their advice and am satisfied with the Blizzak's.
