Snow chains
Caution!
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake compo-
nents.
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.
Please observe the chapter ”TECHNICAL
DATA” on page 328.
Follow instructions issued by the supplier of
the chains.
Different states and countries have varying
statutory requirements regarding maximum
speed. Check with local authorities for possible
restrictions.
Remove chains as soon as the roads are free
of ice and snow.

265/40 ZR 18 (Z = code letter for radial tires for
speeds above 150 mph / 240 km/h).
