will a 225/60 fit on our cars because i would like to go cheap with the winterforce tires for $92/tire. if not then i'll be buying blizzaks again for $172/tire

 

again? Did you only get season out of your blizzaks from last winter? Hopefully you are talking about a different car.

Will 225/60/18 fit? I am gonna say hell no. Thats like 3.5 inch larger in diameter than the stock size. 1" is possible(.5 each side) but with 3.5" larger you will like rub the strut where the spring sits
Will it 225/60/18 look terrible.. yes!

Last year I used allseason 205/50/17s, this year I bought snow tires but I still have lots of tread on the all season tires.

 

OMG!!! i need to buy tires for the winter i had no clue these were the prices ill be looking at! F my life!!

 

yes i only got one winter season because i ran them this spring until they were bald...

 

Yea... add tax, mounting and balancing and there goes $800+

If you find some 17" I sell ya my all seaons pirellis for cheap.

 

Im gonna start looking for some diff rims now man!! or just buy a winter car!

 

Look for an old cavalier or sunfire for around 1-1500 bucks......... Beat the **** out of it for the winter then sell it in the spring to some high school kid for what you paid .

 

picked up a 93 coupe cavi with 76k miles for 500 bucks with brand new tires. should get a couple winters out of it no way id drive the ss in the winter. you can get a beater cheaper than good winter tires and still have a salt free ss

 

the blizzak WS60's now come our stock size tire, finally, i love these tires. i just ordered a set for myself. 153 on tire rack. which blizzaks did you have OP?

 

hankook ice breakers would be another option but i run blizzaks

 

I had the LM-22's

 

any one thinking about the LM-60s

 

I ran the winterfires on my Saab. Great tire for snow. They just made it drive like a 78 caprice when the road was dry. I was lucky and got 3 winters out of them. I'm looking at Blizzak LM 25's. The tire rack has them on special

 

blizzacks lm-25s for me! got two from a user here with 10k miles look brand new and bought two more last week..

 

I use X-Ices and they are amazing. We get mad amounts of deep snow and ice up here and I never got stuck or lost control once. Still have whackloads of tread left too.

 

Try growing up in Northern Ontario. People down here in the GTA don't know what snow and cold means

 

ill be running lm60s this year

 

Lol, we set snowfall records in 'Sauga the past two years but if you watch people down here drive you wouldn't know lol. I went to visit my Aunt up in Timmins last year in the winter during one of the big snowstorms and I was amazed by the performance of the X-Ices. Definitely spent alot of time in Northern parts of Ontario in my life so I know what you mean And people up North can actually drive in the snow.

 

Some of us can. You'll still see the odd ******* who thinks he can plow through anything with his unibody compact SUV on all-seasons, but they usually smarten up after their first few encounters with snowbanks/trees/cars.

 

Of course some of us can....Just very few lol. And ya, I love watching people in SUV's drive like they're invincible and than lose control and smack into something. Just so long as they don't hurt anyone innocent in the process that is

 

Ha ha I used to do that **** with my Blazer...luckily never hit anything or lost control..but I certainly wasn't a smart driver with that thing...I was the A-hole on the highway that was still doing 50+ on the in a blizzard honking at people doing 20 to get the hell out of the way...I had some expensive ass Dunlop All-Seasons and they were pretty damn good...but it definitely wasn't smart driving by any means.

I think I'm going to go with the Blizzak LM-25s if they have them in stock when I go to buy tires...They're discontinued now but tirerack and a few other places still have them in stock and tirerack has them on closeout because of it.

 

I live in the snowbelt south of Buffalo and we get lots of snow and cold during the winter season but.......we went on a trip to Huntsville/North bay area.... snowmobiling.......Holy cold!

I was amazed at the snow and sub zero temps. It made my area look like Miami Florida lol.

 

What are the sizes of tires that will fit on the stock SS/TC wheel?

 

Anything from 215-245/35-45 in 18" of course...if you're lowered though, the 245s might rub on a tight turn

 

Anybody found some cheap 18" black rims for the winter?
