It needs 2 new rear tires and was wondering what would be the best? The car might see light amounts of snow. I was lookin at the dunlop all season and was wondering if anybody has any experience with them. Also i have heard good things about the Fuzion tires how would they be in 1 to 2 inches of snow? With summer tires is the car helpless or about the same as the all season dunlops? Thanks for any help guys! Heres a pic the owner took its very poor quality. Ill post some pics once i clean it up.http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...p=y&cardist=24

I have dunlop sports not sure what model put i know they are awsome in rain. Drove 80mph on hard rain for like 3-4 hrs straight. However i would not put that car in snow had very bad experience. I was going around 30 mph and the car did a 360 3 times. The tires were a little bad but still. i have driven many cars on the snow. that was the 1st. Boost + Snow=

Use summer tires in the summer, winter tires in the winter and track tires on the track. Anything else and you will have to little traction when you need it.

I agree with Sweanders. Run tires in sets of four, don't mix summer and winter tires. Better yet avoid winter driving. Although possible why put the car at that kind of risk. Get a winter "rat" car and park the Porsche. Even on non-snowy days, the remaining salt and or sand on the road does not like aluminum, and will pit the paint.

I second Anders. The Fuzions are great, but the are SUMMER tires and from previous experience with Bridgestone tires, and any summer tire for this converstaion they will get you nowhere in the Snow. We had summer tires on a Touareg and it did very poorly, even with traction control and AWD. They are designed to run on HOT road surfaces. The fuzions are great in the rain, and do OK at Autocross events and have great dry traction, not to mention they are priced 1/3 the cost of S03's and have very similar performance.

Run the same tires front and back.

Snow and heavy slush is way beyond the abilities of summer tires. First hand experience talking here. Yay for turbocharged sleds!

I agree, use winter tires for winter if you will see snow, and summer tires for the rest of the year.

Lemme just pile one - you'll need snow tires for snow. It's really, really embarassing to be stuck at the end of your driveway, and no fun to be sliding your way around once you're free.
