GTPP in Winter

[blk_5.0]

Blizzak 18's on special at tire rack, 116.00 a piece.

Wow, great price. If only the 19s were even close to that. Need to figure out what tires I am going to have mounted.

Tire Rack has tires much cheaper with a 45 aspect ratio than the 40 that comes stock with the performance package. Here's what I recently bought:

Front: Yokohama iceGuard iG20 255/45/19: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...5TR9IG20&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
Rear: Bridgestone Blizzak LM60 275/45/19: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...R9LM60XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

Just over $700 total with shipping for me (much less than the $1200 set of Blizzak LM-32's). Haven't driven on them yet, but they look like quality tires.

Hmm good idea, Would the change is aspect affect sizing on the stock PP wheels, or anything else. I was thinking of going 255/40r19 all around, as i do not need stagggered wheels in the winter. But if i could keep same width with little more aspect....

What would be better for winter driving 255/40r19 all four corners stock wheels, or 255/45r19 front with 275/45r19 rear with stock wheels.

hmmm...interesting. I've got a spare set of laguna seca style 19s siting in my garage that I was going to try to use with a winter tire. Maybe I'll keep the stock PP wheels and go the same route u did.
