Help me out with winter Tire Sizes

CSanto · 12-07-2009, 08:29 AM

Stock 19 rim width is 8.5 front, 9.5 rears.
Tire Size:
245/35 Fronts
265/35 Rears

I'm looking at the Blizzak LM-60s. They come in 235/35, 255/35, 265/35.

What tire combination, front and rear would be my best bet? I dont want the tires to look retarded either. If they made a 245/35 I'd just go with stock sizing front and rear...I'm not sure know why they dont.

I'm running LM-25 which i think we replaced with the lm-60. I have 255/35 fronts and 275/35 rears. no problems.

On the stock 19s?
Isn't the 255 width a little much for the 8.5 inch rim?

Good Luck finding them. Everywhere I look is sold out for the season. If you do find some, shoot me a PM.

Thanks -

I found some today at a local shop. 255-35-19 and 235-35-19 for 790Euro

You might better off selling your 19s, and get stock 18s for winter which has wider and cheaper tire choices for winter.
