Snow chains
Caution!
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake com-
ponents.
f Fit snow chains only to the rear wheels, and
only with the tire/rim combination listed in the
Technical Data.
To ensure adequate clearance between chain
and body, Porsche recommends only the use
of fine-link chains such as those approved by
Porsche.
f Follow instructions issued by the supplier of
the chains.
Different states and countries have varying statu-
tory requirements regarding maximum speed.
Check with local authorities for possible restric-
tions.
Remove chains as soon as the roads are free of
ice and snow.
Fitting snow chains
The use of snow chains is not permitted when
5 mm spacers are mounted.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the wheel housings if the
5 mm spacers are not removed before fitting
snow chains.
f To permit the fitting of snow chains, have the
5 mm spacers removed on all 4 wheels.
f To fit/remove the spacers:
Please consult an authorized Porsche dealer.
f Please see the chapter "SPACERS" on Page
235.
Tire designations
Due to new speed and load ratings for radial tires,
new designations have come into force for snow
tires for your Porsche.
The designation to be used for ZR tires is e.g.,
265/40 ZR 18 (Z = code letter for radial tires for
speeds above 150 mph / 240 km/h).
