ahklein is an unknown quantity at this point

C-4 helps you go, but winter tires help you steer and stop. My c2-S with 18in winter tires goes well in snow and ice. Ground clearance is my limiting factor in deep snow.

As a Porsche dealer in Wisconsin I can attest to the C4 and Turbo's capability with a good set of snows. I have a client with a A8W12, Cayenne Turbo, S4 Avant and a X5. His fatorite winter driver? 2008 Turbo on Conti's. We have at least a dozen year round 997's.

ABSOLUTELY invest in another set of rims and dedicated snow tires. Then you can truly exploit the car's potential in the winter. I have a couple rear engined, rear drive cars, and with snow tires on them they are invincible!

Surprised that they allow OAP's like you on the road.
