Porsche sells packages, both 19/20 and 20/21 for the 992. I have optional 20/21 summer wheels and tires, but went Withee 19/20 wheels with Continental tires. I didn’t use them a lot, but they were fine in 3-4” of snow.
Standard brakes on your 992? Or do you have the ceramics?

Debating on the package or trying to piecemeal something via tirerack.com, etc.

Sweet! Congrats Larry. I'm hoping for an allocation at some point while I'm still standing. (We've lived the same number of years on Earth...) Curious as to what you ordered!

Standard brakes, PCCB needs 20/21 I believe.

Good to know that somebody else has had success with the 19/20" winter option on the 992.

I order a new version of what i have had the last three Porsche ..a 2025 911S. Im not worrying about specs for a bit yet. I have had the last three 991.1 S, 991.2 S, and a 992S. I'll stay with what works for me. Lord knows after a couple of tweeks it is plenty fast enough..LOl
Thanks everyone

It's that time of year again (already?), so I had the winter wheel & tire set put on the TTS yesterday while it was in for its annual svc.

The 20-21" Porsche Turbo S winter wheel/tire set was originally the Platinum painted version. Last month I had them painted to gloss black (interior surfaces) and had the faces/frontal areas bright-polished. For me, the Carmine Red car looks much better with this look than it did with the dull grayish finished wheels.
