Just saying - you could probably pick up a set of cheep second hand OEM Porsche wheels with winter tires in Germany for a lower price than the cost of new winter tires.

I was giving this some thought as well. I don't have an extra set of wheels so I was at least going to get those in Germany. If I don't find a great deal locally, then perhaps I'll wait until I get there then check out the slightly used market. Thanks!

Imho

Spent 10 years in Germany (Wiesbaden). Buy your winter wheels on the economy and the tires from the PX.

ps You won't pay German sales tax at the PX.

Thanks for the info! This may be the easiest plan as well.
