Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow - which set?
I'm looking to buy a set of the Pirelli scorpion ice & snow tires, however there are several option. I will have a 1LT with the RS package, can someone enlighten me on what difference it makes between size of these tires? The pirelli website i look at ranges from "215/65R16" to "275/45R22" but i dont know what these mean.

215 - tire width. 65 - aspect ratio (of sidewall height to tire width, in %). 16 - rim diameter.

thanks for both your responses, so it looks like it'll be around $300 per tire

You can run the 245/45/20 tires on both the front and rear with the stock rims. The rear tires will look a little more stretched on the rear because the rear rims are 9" wide and the front are 8" wide. I ran this setup last winter (245/45/20 Pirelli Scoprion winter tires on the 8" front and 9" rear rims). This winter I'm going to run 8" front rims on all 4 corners so I can rotate them.

You really can't tell the difference on the 245/45/R20's on the rears your silver verses my 275/40/R20 on my rears on my RJT. Only issue is that tirerack's website won't show the 275/40/R20 when you search on the car type, even though they have them Do a search on tire size and they come up. Oh yeah, I have to post that picture of our cars again!

Does the rim size affect driving on snow/ice at all? You would think a larger rim might have better control, or no?
