Obviosly during those years I've had to replace the tyres.

Set but they'll probably be very expensive

The other option is to go to an OPC and buy a set but they'll probably be very expensive.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Porsche Club.. Looking to get some advice/help. I have been trying to get Winter Tyres for my Porsche 911 Carrera S. Does anyone have any suggestion on who has N Rated Winter Tyres? Also, does anyone drive their Porsche 911 Carrera during the Winter months when there's ice/salt on the roads? Especially as our Winters in the UK aren't as cold as they used to be?

POST 2Original post

try eBay for a set of used Winters plus the usual places such as 911 forums etc. The other option is to go to an OPC and buy a set but they'll probably be very expensive. Not a 911 but I drive my 718 GTS all year round with no issues, just make sure that you wash the wheel arches out at each wash and try and wash as much crud out from around the engine compartment. In the spring, it would be worth taking the wheel arch liners out and clear out the crud from behind them. Hope it helps a little. Dan

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

THank you very much for the response Dan. Will take a look and do some research.

POST 4Original post

I’ve been looking for a set of winter tyres for mine. No one makes 305/30R19 but 295/30 should fit on the rims for wide body models. I bought some wheels & tyres locally from Facebook Marketplace and will use up the part worn tyres they came with before sourcing some winters.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This coming winter will be the 10th that my MY2010 987.2 Cayman will experince, during that time it's never been garaged and I drive it all tghrough winter. The tyres for winter are the same tyres used during the remainder of the year, Michelin Pilot Sport. Obviosly during those years I've had to replace the tyres. My Cayman was recently up on a ramp for a geometry review, and the specilast commented on how clean the car was for it's years. All that said I don't have another non Porsche second car, so I have to drive my porsche, and am happy and comfortable to do so. Hope this helps.

POST 6Original post

Depending on year, model and wheel size, it's worth checking with Michelin as they have a Pilot Alpin winter tyre that was N rated, certainly when I had one of my earlier Carrera S models.

POST 7Original post

Why N rated? Are they that much better that N rated tyres are worth the premium price? That seems to limit your choice in a small seasonal market.
