Anyone going to drive 997 in the winter...
and if so, have you found any proper sized snow tires and wheels?

Well, I have to say that plowing around in my E39 M5 was a blast on winter rubber. Plus, don't those 997 videos on the Porsche website during winter testing stir the blood...even a little?

Just curious, why don't you get the 996 c4s or wait for the 997 c4s? Or better yet the turbo, all turbo incarnations are 4wd IIRC.
But then if you can not wait, the 997S is your only choice.

Unfortuately a call to the Tire Rack confirmed that they will not have any winter tires for the 997S this season. Bummer...I think the Porsche dealerships will be outrageously expensive.
