I now we still even haven't experienced summer weather yet (up in the NE at least) but I can't help think about next winter...

I'm still only 3 months in owning my C4 and I was wondering about what I should be looking for as far as winter wheels and tires? What size wheels (are 17s better than 18s in snow and cold)? What brand/size tires? Should I just put all-seasons on my current wheels?


TIA for your help.

I use 17" Blizzaks on my 996 C2.

They work well for me.

17 Blizzacks also. Order them NOW as they go outta stock early in the fall. These cars are FUN in the snow.

I have used Pirelli, but prefer the 17" Blizzaks. They seem to have better grip and are a lot quieter!

Thanks, all.

What are my options as far as winter wheels go? I mean if I want to buy used wheels for these what year and model p-car wheels will fit my '01?

Thanks, again,
Jeff

17 dunlop M2; all of the OEM wheels from 99 on should fit from narrow cars and boxster i believe

Thanks.

What do you all think of getting OEM wheels from one of the salvage yards that are talked about on the site from time to time?

I agree with the 17" Blizzaks. I used them last winter in Chicago on my C4 and they were incredible. Much better than my previous SUV's with all seasons.

I bought my winter wheels from a fellow rennlister. See if anybody on the 997 board has a set from their old car they want to sell.
