What size snow tires should I buy? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have the stock 18 inch black steel wheels. I've read on this thread and seen different suggestions for sizes for snow tires. Some say 225's, some say 235's. What's the better size to go with?

For those who have snow tires, what size did you buy?

Thanks

IIRC, I went with the 225's on my old 17" wheels when I had my LT. The narrower the tire the easier it is to cut through the snow.

But the difference between a 225 and a 235 is not going to be very noticeable. You should be good to go with either one.

225/60r18 will give you the best handling and top it off with some blizzaks from bridgestone
