I'm olso thinking about driving in the winter(if i get an RS allocation)

I could only find: Yokohama BluEarth-Winter (V905) 325/30 R21 108V XL BSW as saloon car tyres, the rest of 325 are all for 4x4, but the dimensions are right.
SUV tyres: Pirelli Scorpion Ice+Snow runflat 325/30 R21 108V XL with rim protection (MFS) runflat

looks nice but as i said previously, wouldn't feel obligated to upgrade if i had a 991.1.

as the 991.1's depreciate they seem much better value.

I was just up at Camp4 in Canada and they are running studded (3mil) Hakkas on the 991.2 GT3 there. My guess, the GT3RS is most likely using the same GT3 setup front and rear for winter testing and forgoing the 21" wheels/tires and wearing the studded Nokian Hakkas. Awesome setup for winter driving and you can get the same tires without the studs if you so desire. I am using Hakkas R2 SUV on my Cayenne - best winter tire I have ever owned.

Road and track article tells you all the good details. Biggest news IMO is that they finally gave it REAL track-biased spring rates, which are going to be the biggest contributor to the increase performance, and allow all of the other changes to piggy back on them. Interestingly enough, after researching it thoroughly, those are basically the same spring rates offer by Bilstein for their Clubsport suspension kit, and very close to what Ohlins TTX offer. That's why I upgraded the GT3 suspension.

Also, note they said they will sell special Cup 2 tires that are stickier, so obviously they are taking aim at Trofeo-R, which they know is a considerably faster tire and had to address it.
