Snow tires for 360 Modena?

I have been very pleased with Bridgestone Blizzaks on my AWD Porsche 996 TT, but my 360 doesn't go out to play in the snow.

 

Don't think it is lunacy, as I drove a couple of my Porsches in the snow, actually bought snow tires for the Boxster and the turbo had all wheel drive. But, the issue is clearance and I think you will not be very happy or successful with driving in more than about 3" of snow.

Good luck.

I am getting these for my F430 for winter duty. Blizzaks are great for driving in real snow and ice conditions. I will leave those days to my BMW X5 M with Blizzaks. As stated above ground clearence will be your issue in fresh snow.....Steve


The ExtremeContact DWS (DWS for Dry, Wet & Snow) is Continental's Ultra High Performance All-Season radial developed for drivers of sports cars, sports coupes, performance sedans and sport trucks. The ExtremeContact DWS is designed to satisfy their year-round driving needs by blending dry and wet road performance with light snow and slush traction.

ExtremeContact DWS features an advanced silica-based, high-grip, all-season tread compound molded into a unique asymmetrical tread design with stable shoulder blocks and a continuous, notched intermediate rib on the outboard side to enhance responsiveness and cornering stability. The center of the tread features independent blocks separated by high-angle, criss-cross grooves to provide the biting edges necessary to deliver wet road and light snow traction while independent inboard shoulder blocks help disperse water to further enhance hydroplaning resistance and foul weather traction.

The ExtremeContact DWS features Tuned Performance Indicators — visible letters molded into the second rib from the outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's performance levels. A visible "DWS" indicates the tire has sufficient tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and light snow. After the "S" has worn away, the remaining "DW" indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions. And after the "W" and "S" have both worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wound jointless nylon cap plies to provide long-term integrity under high-speed conditions while reducing weight and helping to provide more uniform ride quality.

 

I also drove my NSX in the winter and you are right, it did fine, but I never took it out in heavy snow so no experience there. And I agree Bizzaks are the way to go for dependable winter driving......Steve
