snow tires on ss w/brembo

any considerations/advice about snow tires (and/or dedicated wheels) to use on an SS with brembo? ( It would have to be my winter-vehicle if I were to buy one. A black one ! ..)

Always a good idea. You will need 17" s to clear them, and not all rims work.

What tire are you running and how did you make out in that mild winter we shared last year?

I have the Brembos as well, and I chose a set of BFG All terrain T/A's.........that were on my Avalanche this past record setting winter. The SS sat parked, the wife at home (she's on the same schedule as the gov) and my dumb ass was out in the blizzard conditions. I HAD to work, and was on call as well.
