are you putting them on the 16" wheels?

Bulldogwinters · 10-31-2011, 08:40 PM

damage, tirerack has no snow tires listed for any z28..

Yes They're the 16 inch z28 snowflakes. i'm just gonna go for it. I've seen worse when it comes to skinny tires one wide rims

I'm going to hit up the local tire store this week to see if they offer 245 WS-70s. They're on sale for the season over here so I'm going to check into them to replace my old Comp T/A all seasons on the factory set I saved.

good point...

Bulldogwinters · 11-01-2011, 11:16 PM

All seasons aren't what they're cracked up to be. trust me, this is what my old Camaro looked like for 4 months out of the year...

Hate to say it but Im kind of ready for the snow. I help my dad snowplow in the winter. Snow=$$$

dmginc · 11-02-2011, 05:41 AM

you need a 4x4 Remy...

Zabo · 11-02-2011, 06:09 AM

Or this:

For under 2K. Would rather drive a Roadmaster though, supposedly better quality.

dmginc · 11-02-2011, 06:19 AM
