996 C4S Tires/Rims?
Hey All - In the process of buying a 2002 C4S. I plan to drive all year round so want to replace the Summer tires with All Seasons AND get a 2nd set of Rims/Tires for AutoX (and maybe Driver's Ed).
From what I understand, Porsche recommends the following:
Standard:
FRONT 225/40ZR18
REAR 295/30ZR18
Winter:
FRONT 225/40R18
REAR 265/35R18
A couple of "newbie" questions:
1) Can I use the stock rims for the Winter tires, i.e. I don't need to change anything for the 265/35 "winter" rears?
2) I don't see any All Seasons in 295/30 - but a lot of options in 265/35. So I should be getting All Seasons in the 265, i.e. the Winter Recommendation?
3) In the Spring I intend to get some lighter weight rims and AutoX/Track focused tires in the 225 & 295 combo. Make sense? Hopefully I will come across some used rims over the next few months....
Thanks in advance for the advice.
