Pirelli Scorpion Winter's. They are a winter performance tire and they are like a dream through the snow. I'm running 245's in front and 275's in the rear for winter. Awesome tires for cold climates.

Winter performance tires are great for cold weather winter driving, with the occasional light snow. Studless snow tires are great for winter driving in the snow and ice. Studded are the best, but local ordinances and how loud they are can be an issue for some.

I'm sure you know that, just wanted to note it for the other readers

Here's a picture of the normal winter for my 2011, what it looked liked when I traded it in in 2016, and again after being exported to Saudi Arabia for sale there.

You put 275s in the rear? I put 245s all around. I didn't think the bigger contact patch would work as well in the snow?

You're one dedicated man to track that car to Saudi Arabia.

I would normally go with 265's just to keep the stagger ratio like i do for my track tires, but i couldn't find any. I don't really see a huge difference when driving with them. Great for getting out of the snow...... traction control off.......spin until road is found through the snow...... and out you are

I did 245 all around. Even with the staggered wheels. Don't think 9% more width on a 275 will make that much of a difference.

I'm sorry, but I think Challenger folks are much tougher bunch. We had a nice little snowstorm yesterday and I saw several Challenger folks, even SRTs, out driving along. Camaros? Only one. Newer Mustangs? None.

I recall reading somewhere that Challenger people finance their cars while Camaro folks pay in cash, which might mean it's probably their only car while we have beaters or a second car to drive in snow. Shoot, I've read several times where some people won't take their Camaros out in rain! Smh.

Maybe it's the added weight which makes Challengers better in snow.
