I was told that Bridgestone does not make matching Blizzaks for the 20 inch rims for the SS Camaro. DZ1 for the rear and WS90 for the front both having different thread. What tire size were you using?

If it snows just stay home for the day, it will be in the 70's before the day is over and tomorrow all the evil white stuff will be gone.

They are 20 inch. That was the only rim size I ever had. They are probably 4 years old now? I can double check the brand and size but they are still on the rims that came on my SS

Ordered Scorpions today because they couldn’t get the 275 rear tire in a Blizzak.

I drove my SS in the snow in Chicago area for years....as it was my daily. Long story


Anyhow, I STRONGLY suggest a set of dedicated snow tires. Seriously. I was shocked at how well they actually worked on a 400+ HP car on snow/ice with a manual trans. I can honestly say I never had a traction issue...starting, stopping, braking, lane changes, etc. I have a 94 Z28 with the GSC Goodyear tires on it as well.....and I couldnt make it up my driveway with a light dusting of snow. Tires are THE difference.



Also, I have a set of 4 available with much tread left if you are interested. I have a set of all season tires on it now and dont drive it in the winter....as I have a Malibu for that

According to Wikipedia annual snowfall in Portland is 4.3 inches. That is nothing unless it all comes down at once. I'd bet your all-season tires will be fine.
