They're cheap enough that they're pretty much disposable, if you can get 3 or 4 years out of them. Heck, you could probably get all your money back if you parted it out. If only the 944 came in AWD
I have a nice set of Pirelli winter tires on stock phonedials. I only got held up on my street ONCE. But only because my neighbour got stuck 3/4 of the way down my court. There was more than 1ft of snow on the ground. I could have made it all the way except for him blocking the road. I stopped behind him and we shoveled the street the last 150ft to get to our driveways. I feel very confident driving across the city every day all through the winter.

100% agree

I have 4 snows i slap on and have no issues in the snow and have never had a ground clearance issue. If there is ever a ground clearance issue my guess is the roads will be impassable for most (except for the 4x4's that will just end up in the ditch )

Winter tires going on the Cayman S this week. I'll take the 993 out when it's clear and dry. Better to drive it than let it sit, I think.

It feels like it's been raining for 2 months and the car has just been sitting there.
Time to put it to sleep if I can get a nice day to wash and give it a 100 mph dry.

the 1977 911s is now in storage, salt trucks made their appearance on Saturday so time to put to rest for the winter. Now that the 3.0l was finally done this past fall its time to start on the interior bits and pieces.
