18" winter tire solution yet?
Has anyone found out if there will be a winter tire to fit the 18" (non-rays)?
Right now I'm thinking the best bet is to go with the Pirellis.
235/40/18 front and 245/45/18 rear. Seems to be the closest match you are going to get. I know it is better to go narrower, but nothing is available that does not change the circomfrence too much. The fronts will be slightly wider and have slightly less circomfrence then stock but I dont think it is enough to confuse the traction controll systems. What are everyone elses thoughts?
Funny enough, even if I were to go to 17's with steel wheels or cheepo rims, there are not even winter tires avalable in the stock 17" sizes.
