20 inch wheels on a Turbo S? (Winter Wheels)

[Scandinavian]

Here they are: 21" Schmidt Revolution Drago "Hellcat" with Michelin Pilot Alpine XL 5 winter tires.

Cheers,
Henrik

They look very nice! And just in time to try them out with a dusting of snow!

Thank you, and yes, strange timing. Literally a snowflake fell onto the milk foam of a Latte Macchiato that I was drinking - due to Corona - outside of the wheel shop. Strange times indeed.

Gorgeous. Where did you get the Porsche hub caps?

Thank you. Widholzer, the company who did the wheel exchange, who had also found and proposed the wheel type, were very ambitious. It was the first wheel for a Taycan they did and they wanted to make it look just right. So they bought the hub caps on eBay. I thought that was a nice gesture.

I drove my Turbo S in the snow for the first time this morning, just a couple of inches. I have the factory all season tires and the Taycan did amazing. The low center of gravity, long wheel base, high mass, and instant torque makes it quite exceptional.

Of course winter tires are better than the all seasons, but unless you are planning some serious winter driving the all seasons should be sufficient. Just as good as a typical SUV factory tire in terms of grip. I will probably end up with winter tires only because I plan on taking our Taycan into the mountains for skiing and that can be a lot more unpredictable.

BBS FIR 20” will work, barely....

Specs on the FIR please.

Be awake that the wheel load rating is 625kg. It barely handle the taycan turbo s weight. I had it on my car for 34k km. no problem at all.
