Very nice spec! There is not much that feels like a proper 911. Once I got used to my prior car (991.2 T) it just felt so right being in the car. When I would jump back into my 5 series it felt like a boat in comparison.

Enjoy the new car!

Awesome. One of the small secrets is that driving a sports car with AWD in the snow/ice is pretty fun with the right rubber...provided the snow isn't too deep given the clearances of sports cars. I drove my 911s and R8s during winter all the time on snow tires.

I use the excuse of needing winter tires to get a set of aftermarket custom wheels for the summer and mount winter tires on the OEM centerlock wheels. There are 2 sets of winter tires available on TireRack that fit the OEM CLs: Goodyear Ultragrips and Michelin Alpins. Both N spec.

Just an FYI, if you go through the myporsche website and go down to buy tires through PCNATirestore, you can get the Continental 860s for $2,106 for a set of four installed and 2 year road hazard warranty included.

Just an FYI, if you call the Porsche dealer, they will give you a better deal than the myporsche website advertised price.
