Default Looking for 996TT snow tires/wheels in Vancouver

I sold my snows in Toronto thinking that I wouldnt need them here in Vancouver. Im told since I live in West Van and will on the Upper Levels every day, that I will.

Let me know what you have!

Problem is more than snow. The summer high performance tires stop being safe/efficient at about 40'F and in West Vancouver, especially higher up, the temperature will fall below that almost every night in the winter. To be safe you need tires that are designed for lower temperatures even on the North Shore. Best pricing I've found on tires for 911's on the North Shore is James Daniels at Scan Automotive. Got tires from him for both by 996 TT and 991S Cabs in June.

Hey Bio. I've got some 18" twists with Blizzacks available.
They are 11js 45et and 8js 50et off of a C4S. Rims in decent
shape,tires have lots of tread left.No caps.Reasonable price
so i can get into a set of hollow summers.
