I had snows on a series of BMW's I had before this but there is no joy for me sliding around in the snow. It is nasty here with all the freeze and thaw going on this year the roads are pretty torn up. So no thanks, give me a decent day and I will go out but those tires do NOT like the cold, they spin at the smallest provocation.

 

Please see thread "991 inPark City"

 

up in mich, up in mich!

only a couple months to go...

 

detroit s, I thought my predicament waiting to take delivery was bad enough, but having the car on hand yet not being able to drive it?!?! I think I've got the easier road to hoe, roflmao!

 

Get a good set of snow tires and just drive it!

 

I'd pick a second 911, a C4, apply winter tires. At the end of the season, wash the salt off, put away for the Spring/Summer/Fall.

Easy fix.

 

Salt on paint = no problem. Salt seeping into suspension, hardware, sensitive components = fail.

 

Well, similar situation in Long Island. I was looking forward to drive the 991S in the snow, but it turned into ice and the bumps of ice on the streets were making my suv shake.....Also, one thing is to drive around for a few miles in town and a different story is a 70 miles commute on a highway at 70mph speeds with ice and snow

 

I ordered a C4S to solve this problem, Im in Toronto, so we have similar weather. Driving mine year round, I don't have the self control not to drive it, actually its going to be a blast with snow tires in the snow. PSM off, heavy right foot and a lot of opposite lock...good times!!!!!

 

Roads are too straight and boring in FL (not counting all the cortalito- and crack-crazed drivers, oh and the all the drunk people not being pulled over by the police, oh, and all the reckless driving my the police who are also high or drunk sometimes, oh and all the people texting instead of driving...omg...white knuckle defensive driving days/daze...I don't miss it). Just left Miami for northern VA. Excited for warmer weather SOON!!!! Then off to the mountains for some fun! God bless America (and nobody else)!

 

I went out today dry roads low 20's. not great fun. Tires spin too easily. It was good to pass through 1300 miles.

 

Guys, it's not a ferrari or one of those over priced exotics. It's a 911 daily beater, just drive it rain, snow or sleet or freezing rain or sunshine. For those living in snow/ice areas, the C4 and C4S should be the way to go.

 

Nice theory but I'm lazy. Seriously, I don't trust the other drivers' ability to pilot bad weather in northern VA. I know how they drive. I'll let my MB deal with that crowd. And another thing, the 991 is better than Ferrari and the over priced exotics for the type of driving I do on mountain roads. Just saying.

 

that's the problem, having some idiot slide into your baby, and the salt.
