what tires do you guys recommend for dealing with the wet/snow?

i'm looking at 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 or 265/35/19.

just found a nail in a rear tire and i might just replace the whole set.

 

uhh, no offence or anything

but thats what the wheel and tire forum is for...

fair enough, i was just seeing what ppl around seattle do since i'm moving up there next week.

 

well don't worry about snow, cause it typically only snow's once a year (if that)

and as far as driving in the rain, just don't drive like an *** and make sure you have some decent tread depth

 

The problem isn't just snow though, it often gets very cold in the winter months, and summer tires turn into bricks under 40oC. Like I said on driver, just invest in a winter setup. There is almost no additional cost associated with it, other than the initial cost which is recovered in spreading out the tire wear.

 

dude, what city are you moving to? If its Seattle, you will have no worries on a snow day.. but if you live on the eastside-- bellevue,redmond, Issaquah,Bothell, I could go on and on, there is no love with the de-icer and sand. They eventually get it handled.

The biggest issue like they said above is ice- black ice- melted snow that freezes and pwns you on hills and whatnot. Find something else to drive on those days or ride the metro!!

P.s. get a good set of tires that handle hydroplaning and or snow/ice for the rainy season.

 

Honestly, i wouldn't drive a Z in the snow. It gets pretty hairy in lets say Issaquah or something, or at least it did for a week or so in the past couple of years. Instead of snow tires i would suggest a cheap Subaru or something.

 

Toyo R888 295x19x35 in the rear

Oh wait, I don't let my car out in the winter ...

 

ha ha ha , good choice

 

I never had a problem driving the Z in the snow.

Of course, I learned to drive in the snow.

 

For snow, you really want narrow.

If I had to think about it, I'd go 245/40F and 245/45R, in something that was all-season (at least).
