Winter Driving
911fan replied to jimmy3530's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Hi J3530, I drive my '05 C4S all winter, except when the snow is really deep, as mentioned by others,more than 6", as you can get high centered on the ruts/mounds. I have Pirelli SnowSport Winter tires , 225/40 and 265/35 on 18" rims and they have great traction on snow and adequate grip on ice. Just remember to slow down!. The temp range most of winter is -20 to high 20 low 30s I have two winters on them and I'm happy so far. 911fan -

Hi 70Sixter, Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking on/off for about a year and learning about 996s. My previous Porsche experience is with a 911SC, now with a 3.6 conversion,gears,etc Lots to learn about these water cooled cars! 911fan -

Hi dallison, Thank you for the reply. I hadn't thought of that possibility. The car is running great right now so I won't mess with it but I'll keep this suggestion in mind 911fan -
Hi all, This is the mistery : About a year ago I bought a 2005 C4S from a friend. The car was in excellent condition,13.5K miles,serviced at regular intervals,etc. I now have about 20K miles and other than a leaking RMS, now fixed, I've had no problems. The car runs well,idles quietly and smoothly but it was sort of uninspiring under acceleration. I've done many Italian tune-ups, put injector cleaner in the tank, even used a tankful or two of 104 oct with only temporary improvement and then back to a sort of linear acceleration going thru the gears.Not much fun at all !! Everything changed yest. When I got in the car after work, I accelerated as always but the car leapt forward and kept revving and picking up speed as if I had another 75HP, the way I always expected it to be !!! Today it has been a pleasure to drive it, stab the throttle and instantly feel the rush of speed. Any theories to explain the sudden change? 911fan
