How much u pay for the Blizzaks?? My mechanic priced me at 200 a tire.... I heard they are the best you can get. So i'm lookin into the blizzaks.

They are 225/50/17. Front and rear, same size. Smaller tires in the snow is better.

I got them for $120 each, but that was at cost.

Tirerack is showing them for $109/ea. That is a damn good price. These are the WS-50s.

I have 17" inch wheels since I have a 2003 (stock wheels). For 18" I don't know.

Also, for snow tires, get the same size all the way around, don't stagger as you would with regular tires.

We'll on tire rack you can only order staggared for the 18 in wheels. They won't let you order the same size all around. I tried to do a setup on a set of tires for the new Z and it only sets you up for staggared and says this is what is reccommended for the blizzaks. So I guess I'm stuck like that. And I guess the 18 in ones cost aloottttt more.. Bs tho.

You can't order same size all around? Thats stupid. Just place two seperate orders then.

You do not want big tires for snow tires -- snow tires need to be able to "sink" as much as possible in order to make contact with pavement. If you get too big, they will just "float" and won't be as effective.

They probably do that because of soem stupid manufacturer rule or what not. Either way, I have same size all around and the car doesn't care. Its only one size difference than what I normally have (normally 225 front, 235 rear).

The size only means how much thicker it is off the rim right?? So since it's the offset. And Your sayin get them all the same size.. Should I get the front tire size all around or the rear??
