Just got it…22 C4S to replace my ‘23 M3CX DD. Replaced OE wheels w/ aftermarket and winter GY rubber (Ultra Grip). So far so good here in the crummy Chicago winter. Hoping to avoid the potholes!

Same set up. Turbo summers and standard for the winter.

I picked up my previous 911 (991.1 TTS Coupe) back in 2014 and was out the very next day in a major snow storm. With the proper tires (which you have), the 911 AWD system is unstoppable. Have had my current car (992.1 TTS Cab) out in the snow a couple of times and it's been fantastic, although I haven't challenged it much so far.

Highly recommend ceramic coating - driving around in the fog and mist was enough to rinse all the salt off the car from the previous snowy weather drives.

3 for 3. When I park in that row it wouldn’t matter if I could somehow span 5 spaces. No one is closer than the other side of the median because it’s so far out of the way. Also this is a picture from my office window.
