They look a bit sunken into the fender compared to the 11" wide twists, so I ran a 17mm OE spacer on the rears.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I used to buy the Pirelli Winter Sottozero series winter tires because they fit on the OEM Turbo Twist rims on my C4S. They have discontinued that tire and I can't find any other manufacturer to makes a winter tire in that size. What is everyone else doing with a C4S or Turbo? Thanks! Rob

POST 2Original post

When I still had my C4S, I dropped down to a 10x18 rear wheel and ran a 265 width tire. This is the Porsche recommendation. They look a bit sunken into the fender compared to the 11" wide twists, so I ran a 17mm OE spacer on the rears.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys - these have also been recommended to me but a 996tt member, SP Winter Sport 3D: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=40-20924727-2

POST 6Original post

okay only Pirelli makes 225/265 W240 Snowsport these are N-Spec You can also use 235/275 Blizzak LM32 or 235/285 Dunlop 3D This is for OEM Widebody Wheels 8X18 and 11X18

POST 7Original post

Porsche rec rims tires for c4s and turbo front 8x18 with 50 offset and 225/40/18 rear 10x18 with 47 offset and 265/35/18 These are the same 18 recommendations as carrera/carrera 4 I got closed out of tires last year so started teh hunt in Sept this year. Tire rack had the Pirellis in that size but are now sold out Do you really have 52,000 posts - man thats crazy The only option I found at tire rack is to put Dunlop 3D's on the rear and 4D's on the front

POST 8Original post

I did the tire rack route in September also. Did the Porsche recommended sizes on the sport cup wheels with the Pirelli wintersports. Came already mounted, just slapped them on. You do have to check the air pressure as they do not ship them with the correct pressure. Winter tires for the win!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I already own a separate set of Turbo Twist wheels just for my winter tires. I'm going to speak to Damon at Tire Rack and see what I can order, thanks gents.
