Looks great, snow shoes on 911s work great, especially all wheel 911s...........I drove my 993 in the winter for 4 years and no issues......also my 996 4S and that was just awesome.........low front clearance is the only issue........

My one snow story that stands out.....I once navigated a road after a 6 inch very wet heavy snowfall that a Jeep could not manage.

This jerk in the Jeep was tailgating me really close on a desolate two lane road in Maryland at about 45 mph and I just got sick of him doing it and I hit it and got up to 70mph and saw him try to keep up and finally spin into a ditch on the right side of the road.......I was able to make a u-turn because no one else was on the road and checked on him to see if he was alright and told him he was an assh-le for tailgating me at such speed in the snow, before I saw if he could keep up - NOT - and that I would call the police for him......I then just headed down the road....making sure to tell him before I left not to be envious of an all wheel drive 911 with snows....... and to be careful on who he picks on in the future........I enjoyed saying that to him........

Safe snow travels.......

Absolutely! The 911 is a year round car! I’ll mount my winter wheels and tires in a few weeks.

Yes sir. I drive in winter but not snow. I have truck for that.

What wheels are you using? They look pretty nice for a winter set.

My regimen here in the Rocky Mountains is:

Winter tires mounted on or about October 15th.
Summer tires mounted on or about May 15th.

We have had snow in September many times. We have had snow in June many times. I have to be mindful of the weather.
