Winter tires

Well I was hoping to get my C7 before the snow flies. . . But that is not going to happen I am at 3300 and snow is in the forecast next week. Sooo I would like the dealer to put on all season tire for me when it is delivered. Any recommendations for what tire to get? I know all about no run flats are available for all season but to me it does not matter. That is what roadside assitance is for. Any suggestions would help. I refuse to put my C7 away with out being able to use even in snow (if under 3 inches) Thanks

This has been discussed at length in other threads. Try a search. For me, I'm going with Continental ExtremeContact DWS. They come in the Z51 sizes.

Get the new michelin a/s 3.

They have the rear size for the c7 I think the front of the c7 is 265? They have a 265/40 and they have a 255/45.

If you are getting a base C7, aren't the tire sizes are identical to the base C6 and you can get the Michelin A/S+ ZP (runflat)?
