has anyone run 225s squared on a f8x? Other than aesthetic factor, is it safe? I have a set of blizzaks that are one year old

Given your profile says Toronto you would be better suited for a 255 squared setup. |

If you don't care about that, 225 is fine. |

I just mounted Michelin PA4 on the stock 20" ZCP wheels. 245/35 front and 275/30 rear. The tires have a bulging sidewall so it needed a 15mm spacer up front to fit. Gonna install a 12mm spacer in the rear to match the front for looks I just need another set of extended lug bolts. Looks great very aggressive on a max drop M perf suspension and NO rubbing but does it come oh so close!

i absolutely love my dunlop winter sport 3D as a sporty winter tire. excellent responsiveness and cornering. these tires retain a lot of sportiness while still ensuring you don't get stuck in the snow. their snow performance isn't as good as more dedicated tires but like mentioned here, if 95%+ of your time is spent driving on wet and dry pavement, this is the right tire for a sports car.
wanted to ask if anyone has been able to compare wider and narrower winter tires in snow? i'm running a square 225 setup on my car, 225/45 in the front and 225/50 in the rear (summer setup is 245/35 front, 275/35 rear) with the idea that a smaller contact patch digs into snow better and a wider contact patch wouldn't dig in as well and is more likely to break traction. also consistently great service from steelcase tires in markham over the past few years if anyone is still looking for a recommendation as to where to go.

I couldn't agree more. Especially with this statement: "Winter driving to me is almost purely defensive even on the best of days. No one should be racing or driving aggressive/fast. " I will take it a step further by stating that I live in Vancouver, and last year ended up being stuck not once, but twice with a M3 that had Blizzaks. Perhaps the difference in opinion on Winter tires (whether or not certain snow tires are "overkill") depends on whether or not a person has to drive their car everyday? Or if you have multiple vehicles, can take transit if need be, etc. then maybe it isn't such a big deal? For me, I have to drive every day, and ensuring the safest experience is paramount. |

Hi All, a bit late to the party on this one so have gone for a punt on a new set of winters by GripMax (they make off road SUV tyres normally).
They have made a set of "Performance" winter tyres that were very reasonably priced (500 euros including P&P from Germany) for a full set (2x 275/35/19, 2x 255/35/19) so I'll see how they do... Worst case, they are awful and I chuck them back on eBay. Best case, I recommend them all to you and don't crash my car in the snow/ice EM |
