which winter to get?

Im just got 40th z and got oem 18" wheels as extra(not from dealer).
However i live in IN so I need winter set until end of march or so.
I am planning on to have square set up, 235/45/18 (7.5-9 in).
i came up with 3 tires Michelin Xi2 or Pilot Alpin PA3 or Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60.

I would like some feed back. I have searched but couldnt find thread comparing these tires.

I've been happy with Blizzaks. I'd recommend 225/50-18. That size is going to give you better traction and reduce "plowing".

I shop at tireack, they're in southbend. Talk to alex. X294. Which reminds me, I need to send in my debate for my flip. :p

Will 225 fit on rear? 18-9 the reason i worte 235 is b/c on spec it says 7.5-9.

I'm not real sure now that you mention it. The rims that I bought from Tirerack are 18x8 and have a "recommended tire size" of 245/45-18 and I'm running 225s.

On 8" rims 225/50 is a good fit but on 9" rims 235/45 is going to be a better fit.

The X-Ice 2 and the LM-60 would be my top choices.
