My rear ties are 265 35 18. I am running Blizzacks...I tried to pretend I could drive on ice and snow with a 911, (996). The car is a 2001 996 Cabriolet. The rear tires look just way to small for the rims. I called a shop and they said they typically put on wider tires. So, what do you guys do so your rear tires don't look anemic? Do I step up to 285 35 18? Something else?

Whats the width of your F and R wheels? Do you want winter, 4 season or summer tires?

Not sure of the fronts. I want to swap out for summer tires.

Here is a good resource from Apex listing wheel widths and which tire sizes that will work for varying wheel widths.

Those wheels are 10” and 7.5”.
You can go stock sizes for the 996.2

The 285 30 is a hard one at certain times of the year..
I just put continental DW sport 2's on mine, They dont have the DWS (Sadly)
The tires have a high wear rating than Michelins We shall see..
So far they are quieter..
