Hey guys, I am a new Crossfire owner...I just sold my STI and made the switch...the STI just was too much $$.
Anyhow, I live in utah...and looking for a snow set up.

Do you guys know if this setup would fit in the wheel well? 235/50/18? Will there be rub?

Thanks,

john

 

Go to the Tire Rack site (www.tirerack.com) and plug in winter tires for the Crossfire. They will give you the correct tire size. However, I tried buying a combo package for winter, using 18's all around, and they do not have wheels. Go figure.

I am looking at keeping the 19's on the rear, and going with Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires in 225/40VR18 (Front - $169. ea.) and 255/35VR19 (Rear - $234. ea.). I am moving back to South Dakota, and will most likely need them this winter.

Good luck.

 

i was thinking of getting the dunlop's for winter too...how do they work with snow?

 

I haven't had a chance to try them in snow, yet. We are still in North Texas awaiting the sale of the house...flakey buyers. I had the Dunlop's put on the car and the ride has improved, as the Contis had 20,000+ miles on them. The rears were almost to the wear bars.

The Dunlop's do stay soft after the temperature drops below 45 degrees, and we have had a few mornings (I leave the house at 5) where it was close to freezing. I did not notice any difference in handling or cornering. so far I am happy with them. I kept all four Contis as spares in case I have a problem in the future. I also purchased the road hazard package on each tire.

 

I can only speak to the Bridgestone Blizzaks. These are the only ones I've tried. They are excellent in snow or ice. Like driving on dry pavement.
