Tire Question

[denverpete]

Have you considered Ebay? I picked up a set of rims and snow tires (barely used) for around $800.00 including shipping.

Depends on how much your gonna drive in winter. Id get tires from a good site and gasp... get steel rims with maybe a cool looking hub cap if it was just for a couple months.

I don't think you'd want to drive in the snow in a 265 tire... Can't you go with a smaller tire?

I don't know... Would that cause problems with my current wheels ( 18" turbos ) ?

depends on the width of your wheels. if you have a 10" wheel, you can only go as narrow as 255/35. if you have a 9" wheel, you can go with a 225/40.

How do I find out if I have 9" or 10" wheels ?

are they the stock wheels? you should see a marking near the center of the wheel (visible while the wheel's installed) that will say 10 x 18 or something to that effect. if they're the stock 17" twists, i believe they're 9" in the rear and 7.5 or 8" up front. if that's the case, you can run P225's in the back and P205's up front.

denverpete,

I'll try ebay when I get home. If you have any recommendations as far as sellers go, let me know...

boggtown,

Boxster is my daily driver, so I would probably have the winter tires on for 4 to 6 months...
