Nice photos. What sizes tires are you using front and rear? What model Bridgestones? What are the sizes of your wheels?

Default Widest Tire Size on 928

Has anyone successfully used wider tires than this on a stock 928 with an 18 x 10.5 ET60 rear wheel?

in front i have 205/50/17 michelin
at rear i have 255/40/17 bridgestone

i have absolutely no grip on snow and ice. but dry they are great. i think its a summerset, i bought them second hand.
its the cheapest way to have wheels that fit,,find some boxterwheels and go.
and the quality of those stock porsche wheels are high,
