He also mentioned that the tire manufacturer would not guarantee proper performance of the tire since it would be used beyond its recommended mounting width. By the way I have settled on 225/50R18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3's with silver Sport Edition A7's. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and my Z is daily driven so I am looking for all the snow & ice traction I can get.
I got Blizzak LM 60s with the sport edition a7s as well...I got black though. Figured it would show less grime from the road during the winter. We will have to compare our experiences once it snows! I just need to order my car jack and torque wrench now.
