Winter Tire Suggestions on a 2006 Grand Prix GXP?

instead of running a 245/45R18 run a 225/50R18. that's what i do on my V. the wider 245s are going to have a tendency to float and you don't want that.
 


i know a lot of guys who would take off them super nice big fat tires and wheels on their plow trucks when winter cam and then ran stock width tires. as a smaller foot print makes better traction in snow.

back to brands, i got a pair of dunlops, and a pair of blizzaks both kick ass in snow. but really suck for dry or just wet roads. they spin super easy on a wet road.
 
I'm going to run my BFGoodrich - g-Force Sport COMP-2 until mother nature has laid down a good layer of the white stuff just to see how bad things can get traction wise

I ran 245 all seasons on my Stealth and drove in plenty of snow with no issue.
 
I have 2 ssei's. Last year one had snow tires and one had allseason.

Took daughter out for some snow driving lessons in allseason vehicle ...wasn't bad didn't get stuck as long as you keep your speed up pulling in driveway and such. On the roads wasn't bad, just be careful etc...

Went out in snow tire car........funny we couldn't get it stuck when we tried to get it stuck.

Allseason does not compare to winter tires!!! You don't need winter tires but when you do a side by side comparison there is a biggggg difference. I've only run snow tires on fwd for the last 2 years.
