Wow - Gentian Blue looks good on any Porsche model, even though I am slightly bias towards the Spyder - saw this GT3 in GB in my Porsche Club of America email - it looks stunning
Stunning

Can confirm that even dirty GB still looks good. Fat winter tires on, very dirty, but thankfully it's hard to see on a dreary winter day. 255/45/19 and 285/40/19

is that tire size just for winter? What skins are you running? What climate?

I’m thinking about Continental DWS for winter (good results with those on my 911), ant that 19” tire size for track…

These are Michelin Alpin PA4's, just for winter and freezing. I have DWS on my Audi, and they are good all season, but I'll have Nokians for the deep stuff. Here in MN the weather fluctuates quite a bit and not uncommon to have very cold temps...and I find the A/S tires will typically not have great traction in single digits. If you have mild temps the DWS will be great.
My summers are the PZeros that came with the car in Oct,

Thoughts or concerns...about how they will affect Gentian Blue as a color?

Amazing after researching the 718 Spyder for the past 4 months - this is the first time I noticed that the trim for steering wheel and vents is like more of a gun metal for the GT4 as opposed to Aluminum - looks cool!! - but since I will be getting the Classic Interior on the Spyder (intending to get I should say) the aluminum works better...
