Congrats Marvin! Glad it worked out and you were able to drive her home. Once again, beautiful looking Porsche. Those red gauges are mean.

Thank you, I love the gauges, I ordered some Lloyd Mats with Red Border to bring in a little more to go with the Red Gauges and Seat Belts.

Now I just need a good rain to wash away the salt, supposed to get some next week, see what happens.

I recommend avoiding this. High performance summer tires in the winter=no traction. I almost payed the price one year in my bmw, granted I probably shouldn't have driven through a blizzard...

But I would definitely say don't do it OR get winter tires - then tear em up!

I agree, Winter Tires are not just for Snow, they are meant for Cold Weather, these stock tires are like Hockey Pucks on an Ice Rink. Taking it for a 10-15 minute slow ride twice a month to keep it fresh is one thing, driving it any other way is asking for trouble. I took my Shelby out and almost killed myself and it was only 40 degree's or so.

My favorite color. Congats!! I have the sand colored gauges to match my interior. The red looks great.

I must be in the minority then, lol. I think driving with summer tires in the winter is kind of fun....doesn't take much throttle application to induce oversteer. I did grow up watching Dukes of Hazzard as a kid though.....
