@CO 992 @3rdpedal In Denver too. Curious if you two are running the 19/20 or just swapping rubber on the 20/21. I'm getting my 992 soon and am still debating if I want to size down and just self store the tires.

Thanks,

Most Costco locations have nitrogen but I don't think it is a huge deal if you use normal air that is already 78% nitrogen.

But I would 100% swap to winter tires and I would also suggest a winter rim set that is downsized (i.e. 19/20 staggered instead of 20/21), You can usually find some sets online and you can always resell the rims if you sell the car.

I think it’s prudent to swap out Summer tires with All Season or Winter tires for cold weather driving. And I would say it almost crucial if you are traveling longer distances. I did have Pzeros on my 981 Spyder and drove with them during the Winter without incident . But I usually drove in dry conditions, for relatively short trips, and never in the snow

Currently, I replaced the Cup2s on my 2022 718 Spyder with Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s. From what I’ve read it seems the AS4s perform well. Since I never drive in the snow, I figured the all seasons seemed like a good all rounder for Winter driving. So far I like the AS4s and while not as crisp and communicative as the Cup 2s are arguably better in the feel department than the bridgestone All Season I had on my 2020 718 Spyder. YMMV.

I don’t know what the Alpins are like but I would probably research the available options based on your requirements and then decide

I just had the dealer put the winter rubber on my 20/21 wheels and store the summer tires. My dealer charges something like $200 per season to store. My thought was I can store for 25 seasons or something before I eclipse the price of a second set of wheels.

Anyone know of a reliable tire storage option in the Pacific Northwest in the Seattle area?

Porsche Bellevue and Porsche Tacoma say they don’t store tires.

I am sure if you were to really look and look outside the city, you could find cheaper.

Thanks. $200 is what my dealer does too. weighing the hassle of having to make the trip twice a year to swap out vs. just doing it mysef in the garage. and if the size down is really necessary.

I can't figure out how to get to the PCNA Tire Store after logging into MyPorsche. I don't see a Search function or a link. Can you give me the step-by-step?
