any recommendations for winter tires??
 

hey guys what's good,
Winter is comming up really quickly and
I gotta get some winter tires for my Z.
any advice? what are the good winter tires for my 18' oem rims?
should I only do rear or all?
I don't have much money so I need cheap but so so tires.
(my mom keep telling me to get all season i was like PLEASE, NO lol)
any recommendation guys??
thanks:tiphat:

check the forsale section. i think someone was selling LM60's.

and all-season tires = no season. they are crap in the snow for RWD.

i know, all season tires are so **** for our car.
it's so hard to persuade my mom...omfg...lol (typical asian parents :) )

Yup, Bridgestone Blizzak LM60.

you're doing it wrong. talk to your dad. who cares wat mom says. she doesnt know wat cars are. :icon17:

I like the Dunlop Wintersport M3. The Blizzaks are also very good.

fixed. :tup:

Blizzak LM60 or Michelin X-Ice 2 is the way to go. The Dunlops aren't bad either but aren't as good in the deeper stuff (good for frequently plowed roads). I had all 3 on various vehicles last winter :)

In the snow, yeah, but the M3s are better if you plan on spending more time driving on just cold, dry pavement. :tup:

why would i need snow tires then? :tup: DW's and S04's have been sticking like glue so far in 35F. :p

In case there is snow! :roflpuke2:

My M3s are good up to ~5" of snow. And I will only drive in that if it's an emergency. On plowed roads where you are in packed snow they are brilliant. And on dry and cold roads they do really well, much sportier than the Blizzaks.

Yeah, you don't get as much snow down there, and if it does snow that much things are pretty much shut down anyway. M3 is a good choice for that area. DW's suck in any kind of snow but are good at low temp. Any further south I would probably go with the DWS as the winter tire, good tire in the cold and light snow.

Thanks for the kindness answers guys.
now, should I buy all four tires or only rear??!!!

and what size do you guys recommend? my stock tires are 225 and 245. I should go thinner for winter right?

Definitely get all four. If you just do the rear you will be able to go forward but you won't be able to turn (or stop) very well at all!

Regarding the sizing, since you are using the OEM rims I would stick with the OEM sizing.
