The 19" Contiwintercontact 810S winter tires provide fantastic grip in the ice and snow. In some ways, the 911 turbo with AWD and dedicated winter tires is the ultimate snow toy...
Looks sick alin!

Where can you find the high performance winter tires from Nokian?

There is a "N-spec" 19" tire for the turbo, but I couldn't find a retailer...although I didn't look very hard since I've had very good success with the snow/ice performance and cold, dry pavement performance of the "N-spec" Contiwintercontact 810S that were available trhough Tire Rack.

Al, get me a tire size that you are intrested in.

You're probably looking for the WRs...

Yeah...right...sure, Robert.

It was fun for about 20 minutes...or about until I had to fire up the snowblower.

Jeez...I wish I knew that you had access to the N-spec Nokians. I just purchased the Contiwintercontacts from Tire Rack.

Gorgeous car Alin! I've been having the same kind of fun (on a much smaller/cheaper scale) with my Danger Ranger. Bring on the powder!

That's awesome!
This reminded me of the Porsche vid, with the 997TT snow drifting.

BTW I love the color on the car, looks awesome!
