Im getting my car back and when I saw it on the lift I saw all the thread is gone on the tires. I have to buy a new set. Living in Chicago I will probably drive in cold weather what is the best all season tires for the 996tt. I just cant seem to find anything besides summer tires. Please help.

Thanks,

Vince

Check out Kumho ASX.

Vince, are you up and running?

I will be, just waiting on an o-ring set for my turbos, they are leaking coolant. After that its good to go. They reinstalled my injectors and changed the hoses, the plastic thingy that the diverter valves go into, and my crank case ventilation. That should take care of any leaks I may have had. I hope to see a solid 1.4 bar!

So what happend you partnered up with Vivid racing or did vivid racing buy your car?

Really is not any such thing, I run summers and dedicated winters on all of my year round cars.

Pickup a set of cheap turbo twists and run some nice winters.

Yea, Dan and I are teaming up together to expand Vivid's reach. it's looking pretty promising. let me know if I can help you out in any way. Us tipsters gotta look out for each other.

I wouldnt go all seasons on the car...get a cheap stock set + winters...

+1. Oxymoron....compromise on this car is just not right. Get summers for summer and some good winters for cold stuff. Not the cheapest thing. I had two sets of wheels in PA and you can do 10" wide narrow fitment solid "clones" in back with spacers for 265's...they look fine that way and the car is fine...I used Pirelli 240's. Others are out there now...I could not jusify change as the Pirellis would not wear out (in the winter I drive a LOT more sedately.....).

Sucks to spend that kind of money...but it is silly to have bad summer tires in summer and bad winter tires in winter on a supercar IMHO.

I used all seasons on an old A6 2.7T I used to drive...for that car, no issues. This is a 911 turbo. It is just a different thing. I understand the role of A/S tires....but not on this car IMHO. Just not a wise move..the car will overdrive those tires in any non-cruising drive you take.

My tire guy told me on a 996TT all season's would be outright dangerous.

There is a set of winters for sale right now. Check the classified. They are even near you!
