Winter tyres for GT3
Discussion
As far as i know, a 'winter tyre' option for the GT3 from a Porsche OPC is a set of 991 Turbo wheels and winter tyres. However, i don't want to go as far as getting full on winter tyres as the GT3 won't be going out in biblical weather, i was just wondering if what tyres the Turbo runs and whether they fit on the GT3 wheels? Also, if there's more than one N rated option, is there one more biased towards bad weather?
Cheers!

Both the Pirelli Sottozero 2 and Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 are great winter tyres, and are available for the GT3 and are N rated. I don't believe there is an all season tyre available in the correct size for the 991. Cheers!
A GT3 on winters will be a lot of fun..!
Are you considering only N options or others?
If others, maybe consider the Conti 5P, which is the competitor to the Super Sport. I seem to recall the 5P can't quite match the SS in the dry but is better in the wet.
A few tyre tests are listed on the link below.

An interesting one is the 2015 test done by Motor in Australia, where they mixed up the track/road tyres a bit so there is the Cup2 against the 5P.
