Winter driving

A recent Porsche video promotes winter tyres and wheels

Anyone here tried this service? I never have, but this year I'm swapping from a manual Carrera 4 to a PDK Cayman GTS. More power than the 996, rear wheel drive and no clutch to ease the power to the wheels.
Not sure how well I'll be able to control the Cayman in slippery conditions

Porsche say they will store your wheels until needed - don't know how much they charge for that though
A set of wheels and tyres are about £1800, but should be reusable for several years

Storage is free, as is smashing your alloy to fk - all four of them.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience - what happened?
Did the damaged wheel get replaced?

Thanks for the replies one and all

General feeling seems to be winter tyres are a worthwhile option, but shop around for a decent deal
I thought £1800 for 4 x 18" alloys and tyres seems reasonable, especially if that includes fitting and storage of the other wheels
