18" winter tires??

Supramano · 11-09-2007, 02:08 PM

Hey everyone i just oredered those rota trorques for winter rims.
they are 18X8.5s for front, 18X9.5s for rear. Should i go with a performance winter tire or performance all season.I live on long island, ny by the way so we do get some snow for 2 months. I dont know if they make performance winter for rears. What size tire will i need to stay the same diameter with the 162s 18X8 225/40, 18X8.5 255/35. Im a little confused how this works....any advice will be greatly appreciated. Even opinions on tire brands...thanx

Get a dedicated snow tire. I always do that because its sooooo much better in the snow and you cant really drive the car crazy because of the salt on the road anyways. I run dedicated snow tires in winter and high performance in summer. This is really your nest best espically with RWD.
