Optimal set up for winter.

Pittz1 · 10-31-2020, 12:54 PM

Let me start off by saying I will not be driving this set up in the snow or ice. I have a Tahoe and XI to drive in crap weather. This is primarily so I can still drive in cold temps. The 666m with PSS tires is not even an option in cold temps. No way!

I have also searched, but keeps putting me a track set ups and if 10.5 will fit the front. I've looked!! Please do not tell me to get a square set up and do dedicated snow tires. You will waste my time.

Front Wheel Size: 18" x 9.5"
Rear Wheel Size: 18" x 10.5"
Front Offset: +22mm
Rear Offset: +34mm

What tire size and brand would you guys recommend? Thanks.

So basically you can go with high performance all season, all weather that have little more winter traction, or performance winter. Since I have a winter vehicle also, I was looking at the new MICHELIN all season 4, or Pilot Alpin 5. One thing I have to consider in CO is it could be nice enough in the AM to drive summer tires, but could need studded winter tires in the PM.

Yeah, my friends tell me that CO weather is something else. I have been looking and I think I am stuck getting Michelin.

I went with 255/275 19” Contis DWS06 based on feedback from some of the forum members.
