My initial thinking is to run a 285/35-20 all around for winter. I don't think the half inch differance will affect the speedometer, traction control calibrations too much. The tire I'm looking at is this one.

Since I'm going to hate to change tires twice a year and run the risk of damaging the rim and TPMS sensors, I'll just have to pop for 4 additional front wheels. Going to be interesting to get the pricing from GM on then. $$$$$$$$
Good find on a winter tire. $500 bucks x 4 + rims + sensors + chance of mishandling! $2000 ++ Looks like you have the tire ID'd. Now we need some rims. It's just money. (ha)
