^ I dont think it does. As I mentioned earlier, if you are in deep snow narrower is always better but how often does that happen? For the rest of the time wider is safer/better/more fun. Way up here snow is plowed pretty quickly. I used to go really narrow and that was so boring and borderline dangerous on our bare roads. I went from OEM 255 to 275 on my SQ5 for winters and its a beast. 285 summers now.

Spoke with tire rack today. 295 will not fit on the stock rears (too much of a gap since the GTS rear w/ CL are 12 inches. Not likely Pirelli will have the sizes needed. The 305 is only in Sotto 3 and not Sotto 2. The front size is NA in the 3. I'll need to get the wheels which is fine (to run the 295s). He said someone sr at TRack just got one so they will have a solution on their site soon. Yeah. It's August. But I like to plan.

Just a plug for Damon Witters at TR. I live in Chicago and have purchased countless sets of wheels tires etc for various Porsches over the years. I trust no one more than Damon in this area.

I'll thanks for the TR referral. I have purchased a number of sets of the years - but not from anyone that is still there! Unfortunately 19in won't work for me w/ceramic brakes.
