Default Anyone try this winter tire combo?

I have a BGTS 4.0 due in November/December. I still have the winter tire and wheel set from my 992s (19”/20” with Continental winter that have less than 1000 miles on them (2022 date stamps)).j

Has anyone put this combo on 718s? I drive these cars locally sparingly in the winter on dry days that are cold to keep things circulating.

If it won’t work or can be “bad” for the car, then I’ll sell them and buy another winter tire set for the 718s. But I drive so little in the winter I would like to avoid the price delta if possible.

If anyone knows or has direct experience, thanks for letting me know.

I’d reach out to one of our wheel sponsors, they’re pretty knowledgeable about bolt pattern and offset compatibility.

Electronics/safety systems may not like the staggered set up either.

Good idea there and that’s one thing I was worried about.
Thanks.

no need to unless you want to. every winter the tanks are filled to the top, stabil added, tires pumped up and a battery tender attached for the long ohio winter sleep. never had an issue with any cars doing that for the last 25+ years or so.
