Check that: Conti TS830P N-specs seem to be out of production.
and there are (finally) a couple encouraging TireRack reviews specifically of the N-spec PA4 on Porsches. No matter what, in the future I hope not to get caught out on an extended trip with unseasonably high temperatures. Perhaps Continental is developing another fitting N-spec snow for next winter, but their web site has nothing yet. (Hey, it's only April!)
For those who want/can fit 18s, Pirelli and Dunlop have N-spec offerings.The Dunlops appear to be better for snow. The smaller size option wasn't available back in 2012, and I won't go for a new winter wheel set. Besides, the difference in contact area dimensions (mostly) and weight (to a smaller degree) isn't worth the trouble in my case.
