Winter Tires

So I need new tires, ive settled on getting bfg comp 2 for a summer tire.

Now the question is that if winter comes and im forced to drive my camaro, pray that that wont be the case.

Is there a winter tire that fits?

I could go for 245s,235s or 255s. Just cant find any that fit the oem wheel.

Re: Winter Tires

The tire size you'll need is 215-60-16 or 225-55-16. You won't want wide tires on your car for snowy conditions. Narrow tires cut through snow a lot better than wide tires.

I have seen both of those sizes stretched onto 8" wheels. Probably have to use the Jeepers' trick of whoomph-ing them on with a can of starting fluid and a lighter, but that's not so bad once you get the hang of it.
