The 997 Snow Tire Thread by The Tire Rack

Winter is around the corner and it's time to buy NOW. Worldwide demand for performance snow tires is at its highest and tire manufacturers are trying to keep up. MUCH OF WHAT IS LISTED BELOW WILL LIKELY BE SOLD OUT FOR THE SEASON BY MID-NOVEMBER AT THE LATEST.

997 Turbo/Widebody with standard brakes:

If you would like to switch stock tires out for dedicated snow tires we recommend the following:

Pirelli Winter 240 Sotozero:

235/35 19 $272 each
295/30 19 $357 each




This will be the only tire we will have in any reliable quantities this season for stock wheels.


If you choose to do wheels and tires in a pre built set, we offer an 18" setup that easily clears the brakes and will offer you better traction due to decreased tread and taller sidewalls on the rear. Plus, it removes the hassle of switching tires out twice a year.

A few wheels are available this year. Our new Sport Edition Cup 4, and the Sport Edition Cup 3. The Cup 3 is in black with machined lip only and available until gone. They install using stock Porsche hardware and will accept Porsche centercaps.


18X8 5-130 ET54 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $179.00
Install using original
Porsche lug hardware and
center cap.

18X10 5-130 ET40 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $189.00



18X8.5 5-130 ET52 SPORT EDITION CUP 3 $275.00
5-114/5-130 3MM SPACER No Charge
18X10 5-130 ET47 SPORT EDITION CUP 3 $345.00
They install using stock Porsche hardware and will accept Porsche centercaps.


Optional Beru TPMS sensors are available and can be installed into the wheels before tires go on:

BERU 43MM LONG VALVE STEM $ 8.00
BERU 433MHZ SENSOR $94.00

I would run with the above wheels a 235/40 18 front tire and 265/35 18 rear tire. In those sizes we carry.

235/40 18 CONTINENTAL WINTER CONTACT TS810S $183.00
265/40 18 CONTINENTAL WINTER CONTACT TS810S $221.00

997 Narrowbody:

In addition to running the 18" wheel package listed above, most of the narrowbody cars can run on 17" wheel packages.

You can run the Sport Edition Cup 4:

17X7.5 5-130 ET52 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $159.00
17X9 5-130 ET47 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $169.00



For tires, I recommend Dunlop Winter Sport M3

215/50HR17 DUNLOP WINTER SPORT M3 XL $ 136.00
255/45VR17 DUNLOP WINTER SPORT M3 $ 171.00

If wanting to run 18" wheels:

18X8 5-130 POR ET54 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $179.00
18X10 5-130 POR ET58 SPORT EDITION CUP 4 $189.00


18X8.5 5-130 ET54 MODA MD1# $199.00
18X11 5-130 ET63 MODA MD1# $179.00 SAML

Winter wheel and tire set

Looking for winter wheels and tires for MY 07 C4S cab. Stock 19" wheels are 57 and 51 offsets with no spacers. Will the Moda 18" wheels work for my car and accept TPMS ? Offsets are closer than many of the other wheels you list and am not looking to put huge spacers on to get an aftermarket wheels to fit properly. Would want the Conti 810S tires in the appropriate sizes.

One thing I forgot (the OP won't allow me to add any more pictures) to add:

If you choose to do a good all season performance tire instead for stock 997 19's, the Bridgestone RE0960AS Pole Position is available in 235 and 295 as well.

235/35R19 BS POZ RE960AS POLE $218.00
295/30R19 BS POZ RE960AS POLE $275.00

They won't get you through deep snow or ice like the Pirelli, but handle much better the rest of the time and can be used year round.
