Hi there,
I went with Michelin X Ice 3's. Used my OEM wheels - 245/50-18. Used daily last winter in Alberta. Selected 'snow/ice' mode and was actually very impressed. Bonus was the wife also felt very safe driving it.

Tire brand is personal preference, depends on how much you're willing to spend.
Here is a site to help you get the right size and bolt pattern for your car:

Hi Tej,

I ran 18s on my 2011 2LT with Michelin Ice tires.

Now I run them on my 2017 2LT/RS.

Drove from Kingston to home through a snow storm and had no problems whatsoever.

Blizzaks or P-Sottozeros. The latter is what GM was running on their Camaros (ZL1s I believe) for winter driving.

I run Sottozero on an identical rim set as my summer tires so the car always looks the same and I don't have to mount, dismount constantly.

Sottozero is what Chevy runs on the Camaro test cars. They performed great in a WI winter

This photo shows the stock SS tire and the similar size Sottozero

i went with the cheapest setup i could find. Stock 2010 camaro LS 18" rims with 225/60 R18 firestone winter force. I was $1000 for rims and tires installed.

No companies on the tires, a lot of road noise but they performed very well. Blizzaks on my girlfriends buick we're whisper quiet, the soto zeros come in stock SS size of tires but i think i was quoted $2600 for a set of tires. I ran this setup for 7000 km on my 2016 2SS with n o issues and will be doing again this winter.
