I used to buy the Pirelli Winter Sottozero series winter tires because they fit on the OEM Turbo Twist rims on my C4S.

They have discontinued that tire and I can't find any other manufacturer to makes a winter tire in that size.

What is everyone else doing with a C4S or Turbo?

Thanks!

When I still had my C4S, I dropped down to a 10x18 rear wheel and ran a 265 width tire. This is the Porsche recommendation. They look a bit sunken into the fender compared to the 11" wide twists, so I ran a 17mm OE spacer on the rears.

I'm using Continental ExtremeContact DWS sizes 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 on my C4S

okay only Pirelli makes 225/265 W240 Snowsport these are N-Spec

You can also use 235/275 Blizzak LM32 or 235/285 Dunlop 3D

This is for OEM Widebody Wheels 8X18 and 11X18

Porsche rec rims tires for c4s and turbo

front 8x18 with 50 offset and 225/40/18

rear 10x18 with 47 offset and 265/35/18

These are the same 18 recommendations as carrera/carrera 4

I got closed out of tires last year so started teh hunt in Sept this year.

Tire rack had the Pirellis in that size but are now sold out

Do you really have 52,000 posts - man thats crazy

The only option I found at tire rack is to put Dunlop 3D's on the rear and 4D's on the front

I did the tire rack route in September also. Did the Porsche recommended sizes on the sport cup wheels with the Pirelli wintersports. Came already mounted, just slapped them on. You do have to check the air pressure as they do not ship them with the correct pressure. Winter tires for the win!

I already own a separate set of Turbo Twist wheels just for my winter tires.

I'm going to speak to Damon at Tire Rack and see what I can order, thanks gents.
