This is a daily driver so I need to do something. Porsche sent me an email advertising winter tyre and wheel sets from £1500 and storage for the other set. Yes please I said. 'No" was their answer as they aren't available for the 993. 'How about a set of Pirelli Sotto 03 winters for £642 all in".
Sutton said:Gents.
Can we keep this thread related to the original poster's topic of winter tyres?
Take your quarrel on valuations to a separate thread as some of us have no interest in value. Please.

I do not fit them to my 993 as i don't use it that much in winter.
However I do fit them to my cayman and use conti winter sport contacts.
I actually get the tyres swapped over on a single set of wheels twice a year. save on the expense of buying two sets of wheels.
Endoman said:I will be swapping them for Sottozeros if I ever need to but I'm using the 944 daily now.

My question to the team if you've got this far - is this a good deal and would I be happy? Never used winters before and my advanced driving Police mate tells me winters were crap on his M3 and not to waste my money. However he is a driving god who says he can drove from Heathrow to Cardiff in an hour - for work of course
