Long time reader, first time poster here... i'm going to dump 4 tire questions in one post - and i've extensively tried to find answers for each of these
Just realized my promised all-season tires are actually summer tires - 21" wheels - 4S with PSCB. Supposedly my dealer doesn't sell a car without the all seasons. Um, they did
thinking of getting a second set of wheels for winter tires (or maybe all season tires) - but my sales guy said he's pretty sure very few wheels fit with the white brake pads ( PSCB )
several questions:
-where the #$%^&*(&#&*^$@@#% can ANYONE find winter tires in the states?? NOBODY has them. Nobody has a date for them. on 19", 20" or 21" wheels. Literally - can't find front OR rear much less a matching set
-do ya'll know what OEM wheels will fit with the PSCB ? I've googled and not seen this question much less answer. Ebay has some decent OEM 19" and 20" wheels. i'd PREFER a winter tire on these versus an all-season. All i know is these summer tires are poo on snow an ice.
-i bought the tire/wheel pack (porsche repairs/replaces tires and/or wheels forever). live in new construction neighborhood, had a flat 2 months in. I IMAGINE IF I GO AFTERMARKET SECOND SET OF WHEELS, THIS IS VOID?
-i've read in these forums, if you want winter tires GET A SECOND SET OF WHEELS blah blah blah vastly superior to changing out the tires and leaving the wheels. can someone tell me WHY? i had TWO local tire stores tell me - "swap out the tires. it's $120 a season. it's SO MUCH CHEAPER than buying a second set of wheels." That was their words, not mine. I had kind of decided second set of wheels (based on the overwhelming opinion in this forum - but i didn't hear WHY).
I'm in Kentucky - we normally get a snow a year. maybe two. but it can stay under the 40 degrees where winter tires excel. My sales guy (been with Porsche over a decade) said this is NOT the climate where you need winter tires and to swap wheels. he said put on the all seasons. period. that said, we've had two snowfalls in 2 weeks already 2022, and more coming. i LOVE the performance of these summer tires. i COULD do all seasons and ditch the summer ones - but i mean, i already own them, and i doubt the all season will let me pull a full G in these round abouts around here.. or will they?
sorry long post - thanks
