Please check my sig to tell me what rims I have. I don't know what their called but will snow tires fit on them ? Theyre factory....

You have the techno sport wheels which are 11 inches wide in the rear. No winter tire made to fit that wheel. The wheels will hang over the tire and you will bang it up.

Guys,

Pirelli makes a 295/35/18 snow tire for the turbo rear. That should fit the 18X11 rim. then use the 225/40/18 for the front. This is what I was going to do for the winter months here in Connecticut. But Im gonna go buy a Hoopty for like 3k to 4k. Either a Jeep cherokee sport, or Kia sportage. Mind you these cars will be over 100k in miles in order for me to get it that cheap. but hey.... let them take the beating in the winter months not my TT!
