+Porsche 9 re the ims, clutch and rear main seal. Welcome to the forum.
Chicago gets lots of snow I believe. Similar to Edmonton. Not a specialist on wheels but I believe that the narrower the tire in winter the better control you will have. Summer tires can be wider as you don't have the contamination to deal with. I have an old set of phone dial rims which I use for winter tires. Just destroyed a blizzak tire so I have ordered two Pirelli Sottozero winter tires for the rear. I did not have a lot of choice regarding what was available but apparently it is Porsche recommended. All season tires do not cut it with 3 inches of snow.I have just proven that with the recent purchase of Michelin Pilot sport + a/s tires. Has to be winter tires.
In the back of the Porsche operator's manual is the recommended size for winter tires. If you want to go with other sizes then run it by the members here and they will tell you whether it will fit or not.
I notice your car is black. Mine is too. I spend a lot of $$$ at the wand carwash.Mine is a 2001 Box base with 40 k miles.
Cheers, Guy
