To the best of my knowledge it's 4 years as specifically stated in the manual. The window sticker was wrong about the memory seats too; the warranty info shown there is generic.

This can be true, the worst days to drive are when a big snow is anticipated and didn't show up as the roads will be covered in salt.

The best driving days of the year in my opinion is the morning after the snow has melted from a warm day. Roads are empty and super clean, of course NY roads are terrible so I head to CT on those days....

Wrong ... NY roads are the WORST.

Thanks!....I'm assuming these will fit fine on the OEM wheels?...and I will say Mass roads are just as bad as CT.....I will also add when I drove down to NJ to drop my car off for a trade the roads thru Jersey and the Bronx were some of the worst I have ever been on.....

I asked my dealer about winter setups, and they came back with the Turbo S setup with 11" rather than 12" rear wheels to better suit the 295s. Not sure I like the look of those wheels on the GT3 though.

Yes, stock wheel will fit just fine. Mine were installed on stock wheels. Mark

You are very welcome. Indeed I did post these pictures in several places including the Rennlist and Plannet 9, etc... Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Mark

stock wheels are 20x9 and 20x12. I am able to find Michelin pa4 245/35/20 for the front and 295/30/20 for the rear on tire rack. however, when I look up the specs for the 295/30/20, the recommended width for wheel fitted is 10-11". will it still fit the stock wheels with 12" rear? or that will be too stretched? I am confused and thanks for your help.

Currently I use the PA4's on my M5, and have found them to be superior to any previously tried brand, with dry performance close to the Pilot Sports.

I have a quote from my dealer for a set of Michelin Alpin PA4. Sizes per them.

245/35R20 front ($726 for two) and 295/30R20 rear ($808 for two). Total $1534 plus tax. Ordered via the dealership. Tire Rack prices are essentially the same.

Also, I have a wheel/tire spec and quote via an inquiry from my dealer's parts specialist to Porsche. Porsche's specified set of wheels with those snow tires is the 2014 Turbo S wheels, though I'm not sure why I couldn't just get a second set of GT3 Wheels.

Total for four TTS wheels and tires is $7500 plus tax, ordered via the dealership.

So, that's just under $1500 per wheel for the Turbo S wheels. Is that a good price?

Also, should I just get the winter tires, and swap each year with summer tires onto the GT3 wheels? $6k for wheels essentially is four sets of snow tires, or three sets of summer tires, or any combo thereof.

You could get a second set of GT3 wheels, but I read somewhere they are $4k each!

The gt3 manual quotes 295s for the rear snow tires.

The rear wheel of the TTS is 11.5 inches. Perhaps that is why the recommended combo from Porsche was that wheel with the PA4's 295/30R20 rather than the GT3 wheel. The front wheel is 9 inches for both TTS and GT3, and should fit the 245/35R20.

but michelin says the maximum wheel width for that particular 295 tire is 11"...

The Winter Setup is specifically made with 11 inch rears. Here are a couple of pictures of them on a RY GT3:

So. If when you do winter delivery they give you winter tires, and then mount aummer tires for delivery.. Does that mean j have one week to do as many smoky burn outs as possible? Free tires are free tires right?
