Understandable with the type of temps you're experiencing in MT!

Good to see the C4S performing in those type of conditions. Thinking about moving to the Paradise Valley (Emigrant area) where it was -25F this AM and while having a C4S would be nice for 3 seasons, a P!G may be a better tool during the short days of late fall and winter!

Be safe up there...

Default Gone sledding...

I daily drive my 997 C2 in Michigan year round. 19" Pirelli Sottozero Serie II 235 & 295's on the rear. Snow tires + PSM keeps everything under control, but if you want to play, just step on it! The folks who tuck their babies away are missing out. There is a reason why Porsche hosts winter experience events... I've lived in the Midwest my entire life and have never had this much fun driving in inclement weather!

Now go out and drive your car! Cheers!

I've got some 275 Hankook Icebears. They suck when it gets deep. I've gotta drive like a normal person. Gonna try and find some Blizzaks to put under the Christmas tree.

I bet that's a badass package with the Evo. I'm sure it'll pass everything but an empty parking lot:-)

Im running Pirellis. I got some strange looks on Saturday morning on my coffee run!
Im very please with the cars performance in the snow. I did struggle to get underway in the slushy/salty crap. But that stuff is always slick. Regular hard pack snow was fine.

My new winter warrior is a CX-9 Signature edition.

It is a great driver's car but it is not my X5 which I have now put up for sale. Blame the pregnant wife, she gets what she wants.
