One day I will definitely come to one of these meeting but I already have breakfast arrangements with another Porsche group. It's a bit of a drive from Forest Hill to Mississauga. It is in Mississauga isn't it?

^ Etobicoke.
Some people (me included) put foam under over-inflated tires because it certainly can't hurt, much like some people store their 993 in the winter, probably not necessary, but can't hurt.

^ Well at least you got one more week out of it than me, but I had to go to parent's house today to do the mandatory downspout disconnect and fix other things, so I didn't feel too too bad not able to drive the 996 on a nice day like today.
Saw an yellow Ferrari 430 and a beautiful burgundy McLaren MP4-12C on 401, so that gave me a bit of a fix.

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.
I don't commute for work so all my drives are recreational. Getting a brand new set of Alpine PA2 on the car tomorrow and ready to deal with the cold tarmac.

Not sure if you read the rest of the thread but some guys use them some dont. I believe the consensus of those that dont use them, is that there are no ill effects if you are just storing for the winter.
