I'd have to search through my posts but I'm pretty sure my winter tires are 245/45/18.

They were great, compared to everything else on the road. Just can't expect the same performance in the dry (duh). But the Z can handle snow 4" deep with Blizzaks... just easy on those hills ;-)

Previous this topic thread:
Winter Setups

My previous post for others with living big snow experience:
I drive my Z daily - including through Chicagoland winters (25,k yearly mileage). I don't know what's "right", but I bought my first vette when I was 17 and drove it through the winter without 'fancy' winter tires back then. 25 cars later I'm in a Z and we have a ton of choices that are better than - 'do the best you can, and ask someone to give you a shove when you need to.'

Last winter I ordered a specialty set tires & wheels from TireRack. They fit the Sport brakes perfectly.
225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60
255/45R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60
4 18x8 Sport Edition F10 Silver

I left SUVs behind at every stoplight.

>>I will wear the same this year.

That's the size that I am running as well. 245/45/18 Pilot Alpin PA4 on the base wheels.

They are great for me in light-moderate snow.
