Winter wheel and tire choice
 

Hey all,
I've searched all over the forums and got lots of different opinions and wanted to just clear up my concern over tires and wheel choice.

I'm looking at a set of Blizzak LM-60 255/40R18
and putting it on a set of 18' Sport Edition A7's

Is there any issue with this setup? I know narrower tires are preferable for winter, however I live on the West coast and snow is somewhat rare, and given the performance to the rear's a wider tire may be better suited?

Thanks for any help, I'm new to performance tires/winter dedicated.

LM-60 is discontinued, I believe you want to look for LM-32 now. But you may find a nice deal on leftover LM-60.

Yea I found a deal on a set.

Nice. So did I. I picked up stock 18s and nearly new LM60s. Not looking forward to winter, but interested to see how they handle the cold weather. The stock Potenzas didn't like anything cold at all. She's not my DD, but I don't think I can go all winter without getting her out.

Perhaps this is slightly off topic, but I tried Pilot sport "all seasons" on a set of OEM Sport 19s. It was expensive, and TERRIBLE. If you have snow, Blizzaks (or equivalent dedicated snow rubber) are a must on the sport setup.
