But has anyone here actively given up changing over to winter tyres for those days and nights below 7 degrees?

Bear in mind you can't use 17's on a c4s.

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.

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

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

Outcome without a verified action link

No difference in noise between the Continentals and Vredesteins on the turbo.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i know it is not snowing but i have been offered some snow tyres. but has any one tried them on a 996 c4s? would you buy again? thanks marc

POST 2Original post

I have a set of wheels with Vredstein Wintrak Extreme winter tyres for my Cayman, and they are great in the snow. Absolute night and day compared to summer tyres in the snow. I think several people on here have winter tyres for their 996s. I know Min has the same tyres as me on his Turbo, and had really good results in the snow.

POST 4Original post

What have you done about wheels for your snow tyres?

POST 6Original post

Sorry - anyone who has snow tyres. Do you swap them onto your existing wheels or have you bought some specifically for the snow tyres.

POST 7Original post

I have a separate set of wheels, however they no longer fit the turbo [ ]

POST 8Original post

I bought a complete winter wheel and tyre package for mine.

POST 9Original post

I got replica turbo wheels from Design911 for my Vredestein Wintrac Xtremes. I was mobile the whole 5 weeks of snow in 2010. The car had no problems going up hill even with 5 inches of snow. I use them yearly from November to March and the car grips a lot better on cold or frosty roads. If the ambient temperature is above 10 degrees you will feel the car understeer and the steering becomes quite vague as the tyre blocks move around more.

POST 10Original post

I find them really quiet compared to my Michelin summer tyres. Have you noticed that?

POST 11Original post

No difference in noise between the Continentals and Vredesteins on the turbo.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sorry been away for a few days. thanks for info looks like a set of wintre tyres did you change tyre as per porsche or go with 295/35/19 thats the option i have been given thanks marc

POST 13Original post

Have a look at this link for the right sizes and recommendations. http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/documentsanddownloads/ Just to note, the Vredesteins I use are not N-rated but the right load rating for my car. I figured the non-N rated tyres were fine given that I was using them for potentially adverse conditions and would not be driving the car like Porsche intended.

POST 14Original post

Useful information even living in East Anglia which isn't known for long harsh winters. Don't think we get Siberian winds as much as we used to. Might pay me to look into this. But has anyone here actively given up changing over to winter tyres for those days and nights below 7 degrees?
