Just got my winter wheels. Not going to put the on for like a month though because I wait until it gets cold enough to snow. 22" strada rims with 285/45/22 tires.

I rock my stock 20" LTZ rims with Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires on them. Makes driving in the snow a breeze.

Those tires were on my wheels when i bought them, They are the worst tire in even the smallest amount of snow. Luckily a huge rock tore through one of them one day when i was stuck in a whole four inches of snow in the driveway. The cooper ht plus tires that replaced them went through the same four inches in two wheel drive where the bridgestones got stuck in four wheel drive.

I plan to have my chrome Giovanna Siena's powder coated black and use them. THey are 24's and having a hard time picking a decent/ inexpensive tire to use. Anyone have any suggestions? Are the Lexani all seasons any good? Don't really want to drop $1000+ a winter tires. But yea I know, safety first.

Lol sell tires for a living and I have ran tons of tires in the winter and Bridgestone dulers are some of my favorite winter tires. They hook up great. You must have been doing somethin wrong. I've tried all the ones listed below and I'd run Bridgestone dulers over all them. Why do you think they come stock on all the Denalis and escalades and Sierras with 22" wheel packages. Because they are awesome tires

You must have different snow over there in michigan. I used to be a mechanic and remember changing out quite a few of those tires on new vehicles in favor of anything else. Customers complained about the same things i stated. They are horrible in anything other than dry conditions. I just took two of them with really good tread to the dump because i couldn`t give them away.

Nothing different....just applied CQuartz DLUX to them. I don't drive it everyday and if its really salty then I just grab a bucket of hot water and rinse them off. Damn midwest winters....:mad:
