Re: C4S and snow, pics
Gorgeous pictures. Brave gesture turning of PSM, there is nothing more exiting than living on the edge of the abyss of darkness, desolation and despair (where you would be if you were to wrap your beautiful new car around one of the many trees out there).
As a C4S-in-the-snow-driver myself I would be interested to know what type of (snow)tires you are using.

I have put what Porsche recommends... the Nokian tyres in 18'' ( newly developed for P). With the 19'' they recommend the Contis.

Are those snow-biased tyres, or just winter ones?
I am in the process of getting 18" winter tyres for my 987, but OPC can't say what they'll be... he thinks Michellin, but not sure. I haven't looked at the options as I'll have to go with whaterver is supplied with the Porsche wheel/tyre combo.

First I was surpsised when I got the official brochure stating they wull put Nokian tyres on the 18''rims. Nokian tyres are hardly known over here. I did a reserche and found out that they have been used a lot in the Scandinavian countrys for years, early 1900 ( finish compagny owned by Nokia). But they used to be mainly adapted for snow.
I believe these are now winter tyres and not snow tyres..

Ref: Nokian tyres
I had a look at the web site, but only could see Cayenne tyres listed under Porsche. I will let you know what I'm getting when I know! I'm just after some better grip when cold, as I don't think we'll get quite the same problem with snow as you Gnil!
