Just released!

235/40 18 and 285/35 18 Michelin Pilot Sport AS + are the best you are going to do. Nothing in 295/305/315 is all season and have the correct OD to not roast your AWD or rub.

I have them in stock. Please call me if interested.

Great news! I see the new H rated Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 will be available in 225/40 and 275/35. That sizing will work on the widebody cars with the 11" rear wheels. Due in later this month.

Will the 275s look stretched at all on the 11" rear wheels? If not, maybe I should've waited to pick up these tires instead...

Yes, they will look a bit stretched, but not as bad as a 265 (which is a no-no) and do meet the manufacturer's recommended rim range.

996 Wide Body - Winter Tires - 235 at front?

To save me from buying new wheels, my local Porsche dealer today put my 2003 C4S onto Pirelli W240 Sottozero Series II 295/35/18 tires at the back, and put 235/40/18 tires on the front. The steering doesn't feel as tight as my summer Conti's, which are 225/40/18's in the front. Should the dealer have put 225's on the front?
