Default winter tires

Hey fellas,

Anyone know what would be a good set/size of winter tires for an '08 XJR...I currentyly have 255/35/20...I am thinking a bigger sidewall with a 19 inch tire...anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks!

Been using 18's with Dunlop's Z rated winter "M3" or something like that. Ride is not bad at all. Still is not great if trying to get out of an icy parking situation. For sure better than the all seasons... Blizzaks are popular as is Alpines.

Default X-Ice's on 19"

(mfg spec) work very well on my 05 XJR.

My only complaint... at -20 it takes a few rotations to get rid of the flat spot from parking.
