Winter Tire Longevity?

spearfish25 · 09-21-2010, 09:15 AM

I have the LM-60s and they work great. As you noted, putting them on once winter really hits and getting them off early will prolong their lifespan. Also, I transition into winter granny driving as soon as I put them on. Even though they are 'performance' winter tires, they neuter the car.

this is what i would do on stock 19's if i was going to run my Z in the winter.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60

Thats what i want to do deep down, i have just 2 concerns though. Price and width. The sport package wheels with 245/275 tires are wider than the stock 18's, do you think that extra .5 inch is enough to significantly hinder safety or traction with the LM-60's?
