Would like to see some pictures on the car, of your winter setup. Even steelies. Im thinking of going with 205/60/16 steel and some studdless tires. Your setup and recommendations.

Best tires in the world, Winterforce by Firestone. So cheap, and they will literally last you 5 seasons.

Great for Deep snow, and decent on ice. Only draw back is a 3 MPG hit and noise on the highway that may be bothersome for long distances.

i need to figure out what to do with mine. i bought it at the dealership with 19" enkies on it and these ****s look terrible. maybe the stealership will give me stock rims? i highly doubt it. idk, **** is depressing. i might go to 18" and make it a helluva lot easier to buy tires, because they hardly stock tires for 19s and they cost more than a new set of rims. fml.

help? anyone?

please?

*not on my car* but I bought Bridgestone Blizzaks WS60 and they make a ton of difference in snow and ice. You really feel in control and there is a minimal increase in road noise. They're mounted on stock 15" alloys on a mazda3.

On my car however I use my stock yokohamas during the winter and change to summer tires for the rest of the year.

unfortunatly... 16" is the smallest you can go on a gts...

I guess what size of rim depends on your budget... but 16" is the smallest you can go due to the brake... if you are short for budget or don't care about the look too much... go for 16"... but you may need to go for alignment since you change the size of the original rim..!!

I'm using stock rim with Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero for winter setup... love it...!! but personally I prefer Michelin X-Ice Xi2.... just that Michelin doesn't offer our size (215/45R18) last year.... so I go for Pirelli. No compliant in terms of the ride and noise... just that it was a bit pricey..!!

i have 16" rims with the WS60s they are really nice. and there is no alignment necessary when swiching tires. as long as you size right, the overall tire size is the same within a few mm.
