Snow tires at the end of September!!!

You must live in the UK Alps!!! :lol:


I thought the Gulf Stream helped to moderate winters in the UK?

I live just west of Boston, MA on the other side of the pond and typically switch
to snow tires in mid-November or sometimes as late as December 1st. We typically
don't get any snow that persists til some time in December.

...maybe it's all part of global warming?

I fear you may have just re-opened our annual “less than 7 degrees Celsius” debate😉😂

Hi Neil, can I ask which winter wheel package you have gone for, wheel size and design?
Sure - 19" turbo, £2,300 from Porsche Swindon. I think the rears are 265 rather than 295
Thanks Neil, Im guessing this is just wheels without Tyres? What tyres are you fitting?
no - those are wheels and tyres

In “manual,” it will downshift rather than stall. It will bang off the limiter rather than shift up. Come to a stop and it disengages the clutch. It’s still automatic, you just get to choose the gears most of the time.
