Help with Winter Setup

LinPark · 10-11-2015, 04:11 PM

Looking for some recommendations on setup for this coming winter. Currently I have the sport Rays and a fairly new set of Michelin Pilot Sports A/S tires. Since my current rims are 19x9/19x10 and the tires are fairly new, I'd like to stick to the same for the new stuff. However, I'd like to get some nicer new rims in a dark color and swap the Michelin's over to those as part of this exercise. I'll be getting all new Blizzak tires for winter driving. I can't seem to find a lot out there in 9" and 10" widths for dark rims. Any suggestions?

Where do you live? Florida doesn't get cold enough for blizzacks. Newish A/S should be good enough in light snow.

I've relocated to Columbus, OH since last July '14 - driving around this past winter on the original tires that came with the Sport Package was more than I could take. I don't expect the new A/S will hold up to temperatures well below zero.

I would find a set of base 18's, or 350Z wheels for winter...They should fit over the sport brakes.

Check out Tire Rack for options on winter wheels. I 2nd 90 ST's comment regarding 18's.

I have some Blizzak LM60s on the rims posted above and did fine last winter.
