19" winter tires?
I had 18" winter tires on my 2007 G35 Coupe.
I'm now shopping for new winter tires (2011 G37 Coupe XS) and would really like to go the 19" route.
It's a vanity thing as 18"s just don't cut it for me as far as looks.
And honestly, in the GTA (Ontario) we don't get THAT much snow.
Does anyone run 19" winter tires here?
I got a good quote on 225/45/19 Blizzak LM60 (would have liked the Alpin PA3s but they don't come in 19" with those size specs), the reviews for the LM60s seem pretty good.

B. winter tires can withstand lower temps before they harden up. winter tread also has tiny slits in the tread to further reduce the hardening of the tread teeth- so your tread is softer, thus having more grip.
C. i use a 50 sidewall versus the stock 40/45 sidewall, to gain higher ground clearance.(i figured what height i lost in rim size, id put into tire size)
