Check my link above for winter tires that can be used on your STOCK WHEELS. You do not have to buy a whole new set of narrower wheels.

Bless the man that invented winter tires. I have them on one of DD MB and driving in winter is fairly easy. The other MB has summer tires and slides/slips at the smell of snow.

Get yourself some skinny winter tires and u be good to go, or ones that fit u stock rims.

Thanks. I think the main issue is availability at this time of year.

But I am fairly certain I'll delay the trip until next winter now, so I have time to get a bit more organised.

I use my 996 turbo to go skiing and I wouldn't go without snowchains (let alone without winter tyres).

Porsche recommends Dunlop Wintersport 3D and Pirelli Snowsport 240 for the 996 turbo (225/40/18 and 265/35/18). I have the Dunlops.

For snowchains I use the RUD Centrax. They are very easy to use and they fit on my car even though it is lowered by 40mm.
