Here's a pic of summer (rear) vs winter (front) tire/wheel combo. Sport Edition WX5 and tires are Blizzack DMV-1s 235/55/19

Thanks for that Picture. I think that will be very helpful to other members.

All the local tire shops I have visited say that my car cannot use 17" rims. 18's are the smallest I can go. I have tried telling them that that is only for the SS with the Brembos, and that mine has just the standard brakes. Am I correct?

i007spectre · 11-05-2014, 03:36 PM

Wanted to go local for the convenience of having someone nearby if I have issues, but so far no one can match tireracks price on 4 MSW type 23's and 235/65/17 General Altimax Arctic. Especially since mounting and balancing is free. Just wish tirerack had a payment plan or credit.

Rudy@Tirerack · 11-06-2014, 09:35 AM

The 17's that I list will fit. We do work with "Pay Pal credit" which is a revolving payment plan. Please call me direct if I can help you set this up.

i007spectre · 11-06-2014, 02:49 PM

Yeah sadly I already have a balance on PayPal credit. Ill just have to think of something.

Hey Rudy,

I need a winter setup. Not to worried about looks but needs to handle a Northern Illinois / Southern Wisconsin winter.

What do you recommend?

Harmonically · 11-12-2014, 12:35 AM

Hey Rudy, I've got a 2010 2SS/RS with the 20's on it. From what I've read so far LM32 blizzaks, 245/45R20 on all 40 corners is looking like the best idea. Mostly flat roads with light to medium snow, but salted & plowed regularly. Think these would be sufficient?

Thanks!

Yes that will work great!

Take a look at post #577. Look at the wheel on the front. This a 19 inch sport edition WX5 wheel with 19 inch snow tires. This would be my least expensive wheel that will clear the brakes on the SS car. I am can not giving pricing in the technical forums so please look online or give me a call and I can get you a price.

Thanks!

Scott 78 · 11-12-2014, 11:06 AM

Thanks for pointing to the 19's.

Will it do any harm NOT running TPMS sensors for the winter?

i007spectre · 11-12-2014, 12:05 PM

It doesn't hurt. You'll just have to deal with the light constantly being on, and probably a warning noise on startup.
I bought four tpm sensors on eBay for a decent price. Way cheaper than anywhere else. Taking a gamble on if they work or not though.

Scott 78 · 11-12-2014, 12:10 PM

Thanks i007spectre. I didn't think it would hurt anything but never hurts to ask.
