On 2nd thought a 285/35-19 tire may be a little skinny for the 12" OEM wheels. You may want to look for some 19" x 11" (or even 19" x 10") wheels for the back to go with those tires.

I have the Generals on my Z and had the honor of getting caught in a storm, only because we we're down a vehicle and had no choice.
1-2" of snow and it was kind of fun at first playing with the traction control. It really won't let you get too bad out of shape.
But to be honest, I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis.

Need to do this for my 2010 Camaro...

I won't let my Vette out to play in the snow or salt.

With that said... watch me be down to the Vette with the other cars out of commission...

Big Tim,

See my other thread about putting 4.10s in a Z06 and going 200 mph!

Maybe I can drive my future C6 Z with snow tires on it at over 200 mph!

Hooe your back to full strength soon my friend!

I'm hoping with the introduction of the Grand Sport's wider wheels, some tire manufacturers will be inclined to produce snow tires that will fit both the GS & the Z06.

"Hallelujah Brother", if not snow tires, Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires would do for the winter in cold climate...
