    Can someone please chime in with their experience with these tires/size on snow?

    I can...



















    And here is a short video:

    All of these pictures and the one video were with new Cooper Zeon LTZ 285/60/R18's on. Generally speaking, a wider tire is not the preferred choice for snow, but the Zeon's performed very well for me. They also left a pretty sick tread pattern in the snow that I loved looking at. They worked really well for me, and I played in some deep snow. I doubt you'd have any problems in snow with these tires. Granted, it will not perform like a true winter tire will. You won't be let down.

    This is from Houghton, MI, btw. ~300 inches of snow each year.

    Hope this helps!

    *Edit....I never had to shovel my driveway either all winter lol. The VX and Zeon's just devoured snow banks. One of the things I miss about my Proton. I've had my Sentra stuck 3 times in my driveway so far this winter lol. SMH.

    Thanks, Breezy! The added width was my main concern, so it is good to know!

    I just picked a set of 3 brand new Zeons, so now I need to find a relatively new 4th tire

    Be careful that your tires are the same in size and wear...TOD craziness will ensue if the tires are mismatched...

    I have 4 lightly used ones. I don't have pics right now, but if you want some I can take them tomorrow and email them to you. One is not okay (sidewall cracks) but three are in excellent condition.
