Dunlop M3's always work really well for me although this was not on a 993tt. I would install them on my car if it ever saw snow (which it won't )

Living at Lake Tahoe, I've had good results with Michelin X-Ice and Blizzaks, which both seem to perform well in the snow and ice. I might suggest that the Blizzaks (WS60?) are a slightly better tire this year as Michelin changed the compound on the X-Ices. I have H&R's on my 97 TT and the ride height is a bit low for the berms that the plow leaves me here. Will that be an issue for your TT?

have a look at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290360424450 - looks like excellent value for the money. The seller may still have them for sale.
