Winter prep
I tried to search this forum but couldn't find anything relating to this.
What winter tires and wheels do y'all run? and where did you buy them? On other parts of the forum I've seen someone run 5th gen 18" steel wheels, as well as 6th gen 18" LT wheels. I've seen a few eBay auctions for the 5th gen wheels, but have had a hard time finding the 6th gen wheels. Thanks!

The 5th Gen wheels will fit on the 6th Gen without brembos equipped.

I know a lot of people swear by the Bridgestone Blizzaks around the forum I know they're nice but $$$ damn if your not paying for the name more then the tire there.

Uggh I can't find a tire/wheel package for less than 1300
I tried Discount Tire online and Tire Rack. Anyone have any other suggestions? I've been looking on Craigslist but haven't found anything yet.

Went with LT 18" take-offs from eBay and Michelins with a rebate from BJ's.
My stock wheels are sooooooo heavy. I'm guessing partly because of the RFTs. Was quite a workout today doing the change. Installed winter floor mats. Shovel and scraper in the trunk. I think I'm ready!

I used to be Dragoneye...

In the past, I stuck with Pirelli Scorpion Winter because they're a winter "performance" tire, so you don't completely give up handling like you do with the Blizzaks. They're expensive, but great tires. The front tires lasted 4-5 years...rears about two.
I'm also using Continental Wintercontact SI on my Sonic...they're very nice! |

I would have bought a used winter set if I could find one in time for the cold and snowy season. I looked.
