After some grief we finally got some new rims with blizzak snow tires mounted today! :thumbsup: In a different thread, someone pointed out where to get these OEM rims for winter use which ran $100 each. Not cheap but they'll work. For those who might wonder, we live in the lake snow belt and many people here get another set of rims for winter use.

An extra set of rims just for winter tires is the only way to go.
So easy to do your tire change. I might do that next yr for the truck.

Those should work great! First winter with the stock Bridgestones they worked good. 23000 miles on them now, 2nd winter, and they really seemed to have lost a lot of grip, even though treadwear is still ok. I have a set of near new 265/70/17s i took off my previous truck i'm going to throw on and use up. They were pretty decent on the Avalanche, but that thing was a snomobile.

I had Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV mounted on my factory rims last week, but I hadn't installed them on my truck until today.

My summers are Duratracs (3 peak M+S rated) which are very good in snow, but not optimal for the typical rain/slush/packed snow/frost/freezing rain/icy road conditions we get here.

I left them on a little longer, because they are more fun to play in the thin snow we get early in the year, and the forecast hinted at good conditions this week.

I was on the road before 5 am the last few days just to play before traffic got to it, and it was great. I went to pick up my buddy this am, and things got crazy. On his side road I pushed a little hard, and ended up in his field. I didn't want to stop, so I tore it up pretty good. He was cursing me when ever he could get words out between the laughter, lol.

Factory rims +55 with 255/70-18

Summer rims +35 with 285/70-17

Summers are only 5/8" taller, but combined with the added width,they look much bigger, than the winters. Here's the numbers and visual comparing them.
