i've got an '03 S55 i intend to drive through the MA winter.
stock tire sizes are 245/45 front and 265/40 rear (18").
the manual suggests going with 245/45 all-around, as does the tirerack site. i'd prefer to avoid the cost of a set of new rear rims.
the Blizzak LM-22 tire comes in 245/45 (woo hoo!) for the fronts, but not in a 265/40 for the rears. however, it does come in a 265/35 size.
curious to hear why this would be better or worse than going with replacement rims to do 245/45 on the rear.
tia,
doody.
