    They are perfect having only covered 3k miles. They have TPM sensors as well.

    Very nice
    I would tease and suggest a bit late, however I’m thinking the best use for these isn’t far away this year!

    Yes, very late but it took months to find genuine 20’s with NO tyres. I will have this car for another season anyway before I get the GTS :)

    Doesn't need to be snow, you'll get the benefit when temperatures are around 7 degrees or lower (y)

    They are £4500 from Porsche, I payed around half that including the sensors and centre caps, which are extra from Porsche

    Could be due to the cross over in parts with VAG making repairs cheaper at warranty rates!?!

    A GTS?! Have you driven one yet? My advice is don't, you'll obsess about it forever - I speak from experience!

    No, but my mate is about to buy a red 17 plate with loads of spec. They have now fallen below £50k for a good one within the manufacturers warranty. There are a few good turbo PP’s around too for early £50k’s

    I don’t know if you need an SUV, but the C63S makes a great fast estate [​IMG]

    I got the V8 just because you won’t be able to buy them in the not too distant future. And the sound is magnificent.

    Great cars, I loved the GTS interior with the alcantara and red stitching.

    Not all of us live up in the frozen North. :D

    The worst I've seen this year is a couple of hail showers that cleared a few minutes after hitting the ground. I know, I know, winters increased performance below 7 Deg C, but I've never found any significant lack of grip down to 2 Deg C that driving skills couldn't compensate for. :whistling: :getmecoat:
