Porsche Tequipment Wheels with Winter Tyres

Driving safety in winter begins on the ground.

The warm-up for winter begins with the tyres. Because they transfer the high performance of a Porsche to the road surface. Only tyres which are suitable for the season can form a bond with the road – and therefore ensure performance, safety and driving pleasure.

Winter for a summer tyre begins long before the snow falls. Even at a temperature of approx. +7°C, its rubber compounds start to harden. The driving characteristics worsen, braking distances increase. With winter tyres, the braking distance in wet conditions is reduced by up to 12% and in snow by up to 19%. In addition, the vehicle can be better controlled.

That's why our engineers leave nothing to chance when developing the Porsche Tequipment wheels with winter tyres. Even in the toughest conditions, all winter tyres must prove their Porsche compatibility. Our experts push the tyres to their limits of performance. On snow, on wet roads and on tarmac, all tyre products must demonstrate what they are capable of. On the various winter road surfaces, points such as performance, braking, directional stability, traction and braking tests are tested. In the end, only the best tyres – officially recommended by Porsche – will be awarded the ‘N’ designation.

Inch-by-inch Porsche quality.

From the first second onwards in the development of our wheels with winter tyres, one principle applies: utmost quality. Which is why laps on the Nürburgring form the basis for our tests. The values observed there are used as input parameters for the subsequent testing of our wheels. Not least the endurance test in the ‘biaxial wheel test’ (ZWARP) which simulates the long-term strain associated with extreme driving styles. The result: safe, high-performance wheels. Engineered in Weissach.

An important quality factor. In the toughest conditions, among other qualities, performance, rolling resistance and rolling noise are checked on the test track in Weissach. The route to the ‘N’ designation – for tyres recommended by Porsche – is an examination of 33 important criteria. These comprise 12 objective outdoor criteria, such as dry and wet braking performance and service life, in addition to 16 objective testbench criteria. Among other qualities, these assess rolling resistance and high-speed strength. Then there are five subjective outdoor criteria, which include handling and driving comfort. And in the end? Only the best tyres are awarded the coveted ‘N’ designation. Quality which you can recognise at a glance.

Design is not a question of season.

Porsche performance can also be expected in design. Because wheels with winter tyres from Porsche Tequipment don’t only make us sit up and take notice technologically, but also visually. No matter which model. Because every wheel is perfectly tailored to your Porsche. And fittingly developed for the overall concept of the vehicle by the same designers and engineers who develop the vehicles.

This results in wheels with winter tyres which ensure perfect performance, even in wintry conditions. And which offer you all manner of options. Whether, sporty, classic, slender or striking. In 18, 19, 20 or 21-inch. Painted in satin platinum or black (high-gloss). With a striking multi-spoke or sporty dual-arm design. Find all wheels with winter tyres available for your Porsche in the Porsche accessories finder.

Whichever option you choose: wheels with winter tyres from Porsche Tequipment are the perfect addition to your Porsche in terms of functionality and design.

Superior performance. Even in winter.

Winter comes and goes. Performance stays. After all, your Porsche is a sports car, 365 days a year. And with wheels with winter tyres from Porsche Tequipment precisely tailored to your Porsche, you are fully prepared for low temperatures, snow, slush and slippery roads.

While others have to shift down a gear, with Porsche wheels with winter tyres, you can drive dynamically, as usual. With maximum power output and complete safety. The special tread and the adapted rubber compound provide even more grip. The special siped tread profiles drain, for example, water from the road particularly quickly from the tyres. This ensures excellent handling in wet conditions and when braking. Moreover, the sophisticated winter profile provides superior traction on wintry road surfaces. Which means that driving a Porsche is just as fun in winter as it is in summer.
