GXP wheels and tires - aftermarket

**Laurie** · 01-23-2011

Just had to purchase new rims and tires for my 2007 GXP. Wide tires currently on it go absolutely nowhere in these NE winters!

changed your title so it actually makes more sense.

is there a question that you have? otherwise what did you end up buying, a nice wheel?

the 245s on the front of the GXP arent that bad. what makes them bad for winter is that they are sticky summer tires.

Need to run snow tires in the winter. Unfortunately theres not many in 18"

and you have to run 17s atleast with the GXP. So it aint much better

I know how you feel. we got some major snow..but the GXP is not doing to bad

Just bought general snow tires and new rims for my GXP. What a difference.

When spring comes I'll put the summer ones back on. But until then I can @ least drive myself to work w/out worrying about the commute and forecasts all the time

im from the city. i gotta be ballin' or it's not worth buying. besides, ive seen enough 19s on them to convince me not to be a sheep and get 18s like the rest of the world.

Hahaha, for sure. You gotta post pics of that when you get em. I guess if you only go 35's for the tire height it should be good.

i already have pictures of the wheels in my thread in the members rides section. i dont have tires for them yet, but it's on the list of things to get before the IA meet in may.
