Default Can 4 tires be transported inside my 991.1

I need to get 4 tires to the Porsche dealer to replace the summer tires on my 991.1 GTS. My dealer no longer stores tires. I have a wrangler that I could use to drop them off but I would prefer to avoid the extra trip. Anyone have any experience with this?

Sure can, I do this twice a year in my 991.2 GTS. Front and rear behind the passenger seat, front behind the drivers seat and the other rear on the front seat.
I'm 6'-1" and still have enough room to operate the clutch pedal and gearstick, just a bit tricky seeing out of the passenger side mirror.

I could not do it. If you have a roof rack you can do it, but inside the cab, impossible. You will have to make the extra trip, like I did.

I assume you have a Coupe? If so, no, but if you have a Cab...

911 got bigger and bigger but not bigger enough yet I guess. Maybe around 2050 999 can get the job done.

I could barely get all 4 in my Subaru. One front wheel rode in the passenger seat.

Sub, ya gotta read the book Super Pumped. It's the story about the founding of Uber. Great read. OK, back to today's regularly scheduled programming.

@bikerlee, thanks! I’m on the taller side (6’ 2’)but still flexible enough to actuate the clutch differently.
