Is there any snow tire available for the stock 19" rim?

Blizzak DM-V1 I believe will fit but it'll be a different size than stock. Can't remember the size correctly but I've got them on the OEM 19's for winter. Fantastic tire.

Edit: just checked and I'm running a 225/55R19 tire on the OEM 19's for winter.

Thank you! That's what I needed to know.

Hey Rudy-sent you a PM. What is the current go-to winter tire for 20" SS wheels?

Rudy@Tirerack · 09-16-2015, 02:34 PM

I recommend the 245/45R20 Pirelli Scorpion Winter tire. Works great!

Also one other thing I did not mention, but we install TPMS sensors for free in our packages if you purchase them from us.

I have a set of replica SS 20's with Scorpions on them but no TPMS or lugs. If I were to order the TPMS sensors through you guys, would the install still be free even though the tires are already mounted on the wheel and would need taken off first? Thanks in advance!

I just got a 2012 2SS. I have spare 19" Camaro wheels from my old 2LT I wanted to use for snow tires. I believe the answer is yes, but want to be sure....

Will the 19" OEM Camaro wheels fit my 2SS with the roller skates on the brakes?

Bought a 2015 RS - need to put winter tires on it.

Came with 20's, 17's seem a little small plus not sure of tire selection . . . . seems like recommended package a little weak on the reviews.

Was looking at these: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....cleSearch=true

ALso, what offset is recommended - seems like there are a lot of options there.

I'm lost in tire-land here.. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direciton.

I have a 2013 SS/RS currently running the stock Pirellis. I need to get something for some serious winter driving. Looking on TireRack, they dont appear to have any 20" tire and wheel packages for winter driving, it sounds like with the SS/RS I can safely run 19" tires and wheels over the brakes from what I have read.

With that being said, is there any reason not to go with something like:
Axis Sport XQ with Blizzak DM-V1 ??

I'd like to hear any reason why these won't work or why something else would be better for some serious snow driving. I have already PM'd Rudy for his opinion, he hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I figured I'd solicit other peoples opinions as well.

They will not, unless you use 5mm spacers in the front. The rear's will.

This. You may or may not need to cut off the roller skates. Mine did not have the roller skates, just the weights on the calipers.

Hey Rudy, sent you a pm yesterday asking if you guys run any discounts or coupon codes for the forum members. I am interested in buying a set of conti dws's.

Thanks.
