Bridgestone Potenza RE960 All-Seasons. They aren't bad in light snow for being an all-season tire. They do slide around a bit on packed snow but nothing that's going to scare you too much.
Somehow, I ended up with my PS2s mounted on my stock wheels and the Bridgestones mounted on the LMs. One of these days, I'll have to switch that up.

I have the same switch-up requirement, man... my C4S came with the Sport Design 15 spokes, which I really liked (and still like) a lot...
I purchased a set of 5-spoke Lobster Forks from Wheel Enhancement, mounted with Pirelli 240 SnowSports. Now that the 5-spokes are on the car, I realize that I like them more than the Sport Designs... I need to put the PS2s on the Lobsters and the snows on the Sport Designs... or... Hell. Too many options, not enough time. <g>
BTW, the 240 SnowSports are spectacular winter tires - good in the dry, and a blast in the snow. Progressive and very predictable on the white stuff, acceptable on ice (but other than a WS50 Blizzak, what works on ice besides studs?). Good trade off, "V" rated but a bit noisy over 120mph... not like I get there much this time of year.
Thanks for the info, best of luck to you!

POINTS - Nice looking P-car! Cocoa top and Sand Beige interior are a nice combination with the Carrara White. Oh, yeah, the wheels look good, too!

I saw this thread so I checked the 996 one. I love the Fikse Profil 10's...does anyone know how much these might cost??
As for my rims I have the same as Edgy and I love them, they look great in motion too. I also like the fact they match the rest of my car.
Damn, I can't find the pictures, I'll keep on looking--it's a chore sorting through 2tb of drive space!
