Default GTA Owners...18" Winter tire size..what are you running?

Gave up the search for 17's to run on my IS350 due to front brake caliper

I have my stock 18's so I will be using those

would like to run a square setup..yet a lot of tire shops do not recommend that

so I wanted to see who runs 18's in the winters and what tire size?

thanks for all your help

You can also try Steve at Tiremag on Keele Street, just north of #7.

He was able to put 17s on my LS430, brand is Akito and they were not expensive
here they are ...

My dealer threw in 18" blizzaks with my car, I've been using them for 3 seasons now.

Running stock size 225 fronts and 255 rears. /40/18

Also I have a 350 like you.

I have a set of 17" rims and rubber that was on my IS350. They cleared the larger calipers. MSG me if you want them. I used them 1 winter, 5k maybe, the I got the ISF.
