Recommendations on year round DD tires for SC

sizziano · 07-17-2018, 11:04 AM

Hey guys just looking for some recommendations for year round tires to be used in central SC. Relatively mild winters so I'm just curious if I can get away with summer tires year round. Rims are 2013-14 Nismo rays.

if you see 40-45° temperatures.. best not to drive on summer tires but other than that, you should be fine.

Where in SC? I am in the Savannah area and drive on Extreme Summer tires all year long. You just have to get them up to temp on colder days. No driving them in Sleet or Snow. If you get some of that, then all season tires are for you. I drive my truck if it get's nasty. Maybe once in 20 years or so. LOL

Columbia. Snow is very rare from what I'm told.

Is this your only way to go? If so, you will need all seasons.

A/S 3+’s are great from Michelin...unless you get a second set of wheels for cold season.

I have the stock set of rims I could out all season tires on but the Z is my only car so changing them out would be pretty inconvenient.

I’m speaking of having a 2nd set of wheels/tires for colder months,,,usually mid December—-Early March.
You can pick up a set of 18” base wheels that fit your big brakes & use the same lug nuts; just would have to store them out of the sun when not in use, Run your a Summer Tires the other 9mos.
Dismounting & mounting tires (for winter) is not a desirable way.

Yes like I said, I have the stock sport rays tireless after I mounted on Nismos with the stock tires. What I'm saying is that transporting the wheels will be a PITA unless I borrow/rent a truck or something.
