And how wide can I go for the tire to still fit the rims that came on the car?
Lots of options for the 19in wheel over the 20in. Believe me, Ive been looking for 20s and found lots of 19s. Check out the Bridgestone Blizzaks. This tire will fit your car, the tire just isnt as tall as your stock tire, which isnt ideal, as taller tires will reach deeper through the snow.

These Pirelli Scorpions will also fit, but they are wider than the Blizzaks, and wider tires usually have a tougher time in the snow.

Just took delivery of my 2014 ZL1 on Monday and am in need of winter tires. Currently I have 285/35/20 on the front and 305/35/20 Eagle F1s. Know very little about snow tires, any advice would be appreciated.

I would suggest the 285/35R20 on all 4 corners for winter. Pirelli Sotto Zero 3 would be a top pick.

New to the forum. Just picked up a new '15 2SS as part of Chevy's 20% off Black Friday deal and now it's time to get some winter tires and rims. Just ordered a 18" set with MSW Type 19 black rims and Blizzak DM-V1s on closeout. Talked to Rudy - great experience just like all my previous ones at Tire Rack on other cars/tires.

Ordered at 4:30ish and the tires were mounted w/ TPMS, balanced, and shipped same day. Can't wait to put them on, just need to order some pads due to the roller skates...

Thanks Rudy!

Rudy if I lived near your company I would give you my 2016 for a few days if it meant getting some tire and wheel packages available.

Were in Indiana and it looks like your in Kansas. That's a long haul. We would only need one for a few hours.

Question 18" or 19" snow tires for my Camaro

I also have P245/50ZR19 original factory Pirelli All Season Pzero Nero tires on my 2012 Camaro RS convertible, and those tires are useless in the snow. I am going to be putting in an order of tires at tirerack.com, but I have a question.

If I get the 19" Pirelli or Blizzak tires to fit my current factory wheels, the tires alone will cost me about $1000. If I go to an 18" tires, I can get four new wheels for $480, and then four 18" Blizzak tires on special for $512.80 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....cleSearch=true

Since the cost is about the same for either option, is it better to go with a smaller tire in the snow? I was thinking the 18" option was better as well because of any damage from rock salt. It's probably better for me to put my factory wheels away for the winter and buy the cheaper 18" wheels. Does anyone have an opinion on which is the better option? I live in Pittsburgh, PA and we have horrible roads and lots of snow!

Yes going with 18's would work better in snow. I would recommend that route. Call me if you would like to discuss.

Still not cold enough during the day to put my winters on. Still in the mid to upper 50's here. Weirdly warm for this time of year
