Did extensive research on offerings and narrowed down to sizes of 275/40/20 and some at 295/40/20
The Blizzak 6 is W rated less aggressive tread
The Hakkapelitta R5 SUV has a deep block pattern more like the 18" snows I used on the R/T Once I found out they are actually made in FINLAND SISU!!!
I am driving from Boston to Nashua about 25 miles highway with a elevation climb of 300 feet to get out of my town. The biggest issues are with smaller storms 1-3 inches often not plowed mucking through the slushy highway and you hit the thicker spots between lanes. Having 4 snow tires always made it far less puckering, this is something that AWD would have NO IMPACT
I had found a set of 20x11 OEM wheels thanks to the guys at 797 performance, the 20x10 would have been better, but the 275/40 is rated for 11" max wheeel. Someone reported using 20x9 Trackhawk wheels on a Brembo R/T but the R/T 20x9 hit the brakes for someone
I had the awesome Continental Extreme Contact 02 summer tires so it's a step down for T rated tires. Still rides great, more noise but not by much. Running at 35 psi they almost corner as good as the Eagle sports, you can feel them flex as you push it but it doesn't plow the fronts Cant wait to attack an unplowed parking lot
The Blacktop wheels look quite different than my "Aluminum" wheels
