Michellin Pilot sport A/S

Tons of grip, and they seem to be pretty good in snow and rain.

thats not bad but not good either. unless your totally sold on that style. you could get good rims for a lot cheaper just takes time to find them. specially in the bolt pattern you need and style you want. thats my opinion though.

BTW black rims look awesome on a silver car . you can look at my pictures i have 18s as well

Yea I know. Im not sure if im likeing that style of rim.. But I would love to see black rim with pollished lip LOOKS SOO NICE I LOVE UR CAR.,, heres my sistuation.. My monte in storage as soon as no SNOW I WANNA DRIVE it.. its either spend 800-1100 On JUST all Seasons FOR MY stock SS RIMS witch I Like alot ALSO love when the chrome shinnes on the ground.. But if I can get a RIM and tire COMBO for 800-1000 It would be better off Doing that/ could always sell rims next summer still have my stocks.. BUT 2 tires ARE F*#$

let me start off by saying thank you! . well if you have time it doesn't hurt to look around. rims are very common on Craigslist. and if ur looking at the 114.3 bolt pattern that is also like 60% of all rims on there. but the 115 is much harder to come by. id look for a rim and tire set if it where me.. they will change the whole look of your car. specially if ur gonna spend that much on just tires anyways...

I have the Michelin Hydroedge on my Monte. I have 10K on them and so far little wear showing, they handle great in all weather. Great tire!

17s? Well I have Firestone Winterforces on my 17s. The 18's have General Exclaim UHP XLs. I find that with the Monte being my daily driver having season specific wheels/tires are the way to go, especially with Laramie winters at 7200'.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the General's were about $150 each shipped in a 245/45ZR -18 size from Tirerack to Wyoming. The Firestones were ordered from a local tire shop and ended up at $550 mounted/balanced etc on my stock wheels.

if you go look at those rims make sure to check the lips on the outside and inside.. to make sure there are no dents or cracks.. curb rash.. etc. i have seen and heard of several occasions where people buy rims off craigslist and one of them is bent or cracked .. it is fixible but not worth 1000$. also id buy new rims if your gonna spend that much on just tires!.

Good luck
