I know a few of you are running this continental dws all season 275 rear 225 front combo out there but how does it look on the stock rims?

Anyone have a pic?

 

i ran a 275 35 dunlop winter tire on my 996 last year. you'll want to run spacers in the rear.... the tire fits fine. a bit stretched but you really dont have other options, unless you did a 265 40 but thats just gay. (your rear wheel will appear as flushed in as your front)

 

that's my winter setup....it's not too bad. rears are stretched a little.
225 40 18 275 35 18 snow's on oem sport techno's

 

that's my winter setup as well. Personally i don't think it looks very good. You can tell the tire is stretched. I also noticed that my blizzak rears definitely wore faster in the middle. I can't help but think that may have had something to do with them being stretched, but i know that's also a result of incorrect tire pressure. If i had to do it again I would be either get 10" wide rears and run 265 or go to Pirelli snows - they make a 295 i believe.

 

Stay away from the DWS and buy a set of proper winter tires. All season tires are named that because they're somewhere between mediocre to lousy in all seasons.
