Hey guys,

I take delivery of my Guards Red Turbo S this Friday. I had two questions I was hoping someone can help me out with...

Where can I find the clear/white tail lights to buy and swap for my red ones?

Also can anyone suggest the best winter tires available for the 20' wheels?

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

For the tail lights suncoast porsche can help you. There are install threads as well if you search. As for winter tires check out the search and there options but you'll have to step down to a 295 I believe. Also check the search for that. Http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991TTCLEAR.html

 

For winter tires if you want a performance winter tire that offers good but not stellar snow traction while still offering excellent dry, wet and cold weather traction get the Michelin Pilot Alpin 4. That is what I have. They will be a size narrower than the summers.

Suncoast Parts is the place to get the clear tail lights and spoiler brake light. Be sure you also get the clear LED side markers to achieve a unified color look

 

Thanks a lot for the tail lights suggestion guys!

I'm in Canada so I was hoping someone knew of the absolute best in snow and ice conditions. Not so much performance.

 

For extreme snow and ice look into Nokian Hakkapeliitta

 

Thanks a lot !

 

Having used (almost) all the winter tires out there, Pirelli Sottozero (Series 3; 2 if you can't track down 3) are the best winter options. Appropriate sizes are listed the manual (245/35/20 & 295/30/20) - tire shops didn't have the updated info for my '16.

 

I was gonna ask if anyone ran those as that's what I ordered for my FF. Thanks a lot buddy

 

Blizzak tires make this this car a awd snow beast!

 

I have used both Sottos and Pilot Alpin 4s and far prefer the Alpins. I found that the Sottos have the least snow traction of the snow tires I have run.

That is why both my 991 TTS and Panamera GTS wear PA4s in the winter. My E63 S runs Sottos because PA4s are not made in its sizes

 

Per Damon at Tire Rack-

Pirelli Sottozero - Better feel than Mich. Not as good in snow/ice but very good winter tire. Almost feels like all season....

Michelin Alpin - better in snow/ice due to more aggressive tread. Not as much road feel. True winter tire and feels like it.

I went Pirelli. Will use SUV on snow days. Don't need the TT to be snow warrior but it will get me home if I get stuck in snow.

 

Agree 100 percent. The Sotto feels more like an all season than a snow tire.

 

Thanks a lot for the clarification guys! Means a lot. I have some thinking to do with the tire of choice than. My girl drives the ML63 and I was hoping to get by the 2-3 snow storms once they are paved with the TTS so maybe the Pirelli will be fine since I'm not gonna drive the car in the snow storm as I am going to do some power mods and want some traction when it's clear out.

 

Excited for you J!
+1 For Suncoast and the crew there. Tell Laurie I said hi and you are a friend

 

Will do Sam, thanks a lot. Already exchanged PM's through here.

Really excited to begin this build! Was looking at your YT vids and the Kline exhaust sounds fantastic!
