Just an update for this project, guys! I'll be ordering some winter tires tonight and will be putting them on the stock Monte wheels for the '02 SS year which I've made my winter beaters. Any suggestions on winter tires? I live in NJ; would all-season work better?

 

Blizzaks are great winter tires

 

Wait, apparently I had 17 inch rims from that year....according to TireRack.

 

Tire Rack had a close out on Michelin Xi2 as they released the Xi3 version, I was able to get Discount Tire to match the price, stepped down to 16" for the winter. Haven't had them on yet as it is still warm in MN. Almost any snow tire will make a huge difference, I have had Michelin, Blizzak, and Winterforce. Michelin have been the quietest & longest lasting, but all made a big difference over the all season performance that I have for the summer.

Hope you can find a good deal!

 

Inside the rim spoke should tell you the size of the rim if you really don't know lol

 

I kinda forgot how to understand how the tire sizes we can run, Mike, any help?

Would these work?

 

I believe 6th gens can run up to 245/45/18 without rub.

 

That tire size would be terrible for you.

And yes, I run 245/45/18 no problem

 

245/35/19s currently. I don't feel that they fill up the wheel well too good. Just feels like it's gotta be dropped a little bit. But perhaps 18s, since they show more tire, would eliminate this "illusion.'

 

What ever you do, do not put on the winter tires until the first flake falls. Winter tires will wear out soooo fast on dry pavement.
