Default All season tires

my rears are almost bold and the front ones were just replaced about 2 months ago by Nissan. Its going to snow here in Chicago and i don't really want snow tires. Anyone know good 18" tires that are good in rain/snow and wont cost an arm and a leg?? 245/45/18

the 245/40 tires will fit the rear rims but overall diameter (staggering) between rear and front rims may upset VDC and ABS

the staggering should be 0.5"-0.75" with the rear rims having greater overall diameter. you can go on discount tire direct website and put tire size on a calculator to find out specs such as overall diameter, height, etc. the overall diameter of the rear rim + tire should be greater than the front rim + tire within the aforementioned range.

and yes, unfortunately it did snow a lot here in rockford...apparently they haven't heard about snow plows and stuff like Chicago and its suburbs.
