I live in Columbus OH and drive my C5 all year long. For the last 5-6 years, I've run Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires & love them. The car always makes it up the driveway and into the garage all winter long. Now that I'm ready to buy a new Grand Sport to replace the C5 I discover that no one make an all season tire to fit the rear (325/30/19).

Does anyone know if I can use a 295/30/19 for the rear instead? It's the largest thing that Conti makes. Obviously I don't want to screw up the handling or active handling controls.

Thanks!

look at the tire rack specs for the tire.It will tell you the recommended width range.

I am in Canton and just got a GS last week from Terry at Coughlin. What a great guy. I looked at tire rack and don't think they make a winter tire. I guess being an optimist it really does not snow that much even in NE Ohio. I'm just going to drive it and not worry about the occasional snow when I may need to park it for a day or two. Plan to trade in a few years, not worried about it ....would rather enjoy the car year long.

I think it's the cold as much as the snow that causes the summer tire to not work so well.

I drive on summer hankook evo12 all year round on my narrow body c6. I drive with respect to winter and on the day of the snow I stay home. The day after I manage to go anywhere I want when they plow.

I've been doing this for four or 5 years. I used to lease front wheel drive mid size cars for winter. Now I don't even bother

We have the Michelin PS2 runflats on our 2009 coupe, and Michelin A/S runflats on another set of wheels.

Since I don't drive in actual snow, just cold weather, we have discovered the PS2's do well enough that I usually just leave them on all winter. The original Supercar tires were much worse in cold wx.

But, be careful...

I have read a few threads where writer says tires on "super" cars are no good . Can anyone tell me what tires they are referring to? Also which cars they are talking about? I need info on tires for my "super"06coupe as I will be buying some in spring.Thanks.

I know this is an older post...but I just came across new all-season Michelin PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ ZP (W- OR Y-SPEED RATED) - Ultra High Performance All-Season on TireRack.com for the C6 Grand Sport. I was giving up hope that I'd find all-seasons, and ran across these today.
