Smaller tires are better in the snow. 18s are the smallest you can go and still clear the sport brakes.

One thing I don't miss since moving south is shoveling snow.

More importantly narrower tires are better in snow due to the fact that they don't float as much as a wider tire.

Right - wider tires are described as being more like a plow in the snow.. you don't want that.

I also got a square set (all the same size tires/wheels) so they can be rotated when it comes time.

This and the compound are the most important. Don't be a dumba$$ and get 305's to look cool in the snow.

so about how much for new tires and rims?

This thread is depressing. I am sorry for you folks who live in cold climates.

No worries, half the state lost power. The OP can probably spend sometimes in the car as that's the only thing that has power...

**quick update we got close to a foot of snow. as much as 27 inches in some areas, this is what we are going through in the northeast....Snow Smacks Northeast; Power Could Be Out for Days - weather.com

Press Conference with CT Governor Dan Malloy about the Storm: CT Weather: Connecticut Weather Forecast From Fox CT - CTnow

Good news is the worst is over for now, its just waiting for the power to get back on, no more snow is forecasted for the near future

I just got home from the beach. Branches are all around the house, some might have glanced off the roof. Driveway is blocked with huge branches and ice/snow on it. To make it worse, the Z is being blocked in by the snow and it is blocking the snowblower in the basement. I am screwed. It's freezing cold in the house too, 44 degrees right now
