    Looking for winter tire recommendations for the Charger, found a set of 18in OEM Charger rims for pretty good price that I’ll put them on. Thanks

    everyone says Blizzacks. LM-32 i think is the 20" ones. Im trying to find something a lot cheaper. I really don't want to pay 300 a tire

    blizzacks are definitely a good tire. Years ago I had a Jetta tdi that was my daily and i put winter tires on it. Don't remember the brand but even those tires made a noticeable difference in the snow. I'm sure any dedicated winter/snow tire will be better than what you got on there now.

    also if those oem 18's are 8" wide rims go thinner than 245's

    i got better All seasons on order. It had the mountain with the snowflake on them. Which makes them a better wet/snow tire than standard all seasons. If its more than a few inches I won't be going anywhere anyway. Car will be a snow plow.

    Been reading quite a few reviews, the Continental Winter Contact Si's get very good reviews and are only $130 a tire for 235/55/18's, I'm going with them!
