HELP! Need tire sizes for all season!

RWDdrifter13 · 11-09-2017, 03:16 PM

I need to get some all seasons so I can drive in the cold months here in Pennsylvania. I did my research on tires and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ seem to be the best for what I need/want. However, they do not make them in the stock OEM front tire size (nowhere I can find anyway).

Can anyone please tell me if there is another tire size that I can go with, that would be closest to the stock tire size and 100% not rub? I don’t want to go much wider, just Incase I get stuck in a little snow, and don’t want to go too skinny because I want the grip when it’s dry.

Any known help would be GREATLY appreciated!

For PA, most would suggest two sets of tires. One for summer, one for winter.

If you really want just one set of those Michelins, get 255/35/20 up front and 275/35/20 in the rear.

My boss just got a set of these Michelins and he's going with the Continental DWS all-season tires after only a week. He said the Michelins were the most noisy tire he's ever had. I prefer the Conti- DWS, and they come in stock sizes, I had them on my 5th gen and loved 'em.

In terms of performance, Michelins > Contis. I've had both on the 6th gen Camaro.

I just went with new MRR MO17 wheels 20x10 all around with all season non-run flat Bridgestone Potenzas 285-30-20. They look great and the ride is excellent!

I think we are going to get nailed this winter, the NE is overdue!

Thanks guys I appreciate the input. The goal is to eventually have a set of summer wheels and tires and a set of winter wheels and tires. However, right now it’s just not financially feasible. I have had a lot of unexpected expenses that unfortunately trumped my baby (the camaro). Family first. lol I liked the Contis for their snow performance, but I don’t want to give up that much dry grip. 99% of the time I do not drive in the snow. I only want all seasons for the cold temperatures and possibly getting stuck out in an unexpected snow. Also, I could care less about noise, my exhaust note will more than likely overpower it anyway. xD
Thanks again for all of your input, espically Enzia35. That was exactly what I was looking for!
