I am in Chicago not Colorado, and it snows here.

I want All Season tires for a 24 and 26 CT5 B/W. I also want to stick with the OEM tire size. Would prefer a brand I am familiar with but as I am sure you know............ There are tires available but not any brands I know anything about. Some have many good ratings but this is internet info...

That could be true but the rear tide is .4" smaller in diameter.

Jbawden We have a Triple Black 2012 CTSV coupe that we were going to trade in but it is to PRETTY we kept it. I agree in some respects it is still the best looking.

That's not a problem for me. Just back and fourth to work. I even run in Rain and Snow mode to dumb down the performance.

That is quite a bit of a bigger 'Balgonie' but you are correct about the diameter difference between a 30 and 35. I will definitely keep it in mind.

Thanks Todd I haven't had the time to do detailed measurement and the old bounce test but will keep this in mind. Are you running 19" rims?

One thing has seemed a little odd when looking at my 2026 CTV5 Blackwing in profile. It kind of looks out of proportion, then I figured out what looks strange to me. The rear tires are smaller in diameter than the front tires. Now, I am sure the engineers and track people can explain in mind...

We liked them so much we bought two

Be nice. You are both correct. However if you check with Walmart sometimes they offer an all season tire in the 305 30 19 size but it is Chinese

I am going to jump in here to rile up a bunch of people. I we two CT5 Blackwing's a 24 and a 26 because we like them. I don't care about performance but I wanted a V8 in a Cadillac sedan and I like the look. The only thing that seemed out of place is the fact that the front tires are larger in...

Thanks to all with the input. I took delivery on a 2025 CT5 Blackwing and made a decision on what to do. I have a 2012 CTS V with Goodyear Exhilarate tires on it and like them. I can get that tire in the B/W size to fit the front. On the back I used the 285 35 19 like the CTS V. It fits on the...

You could be correct, but I usually purchase the right vehicle [what I like] but for the wrong reason. This is the last of the good old American V8's. I grew up with them and you can keep all the cars out there now even the hi tech wonders but you can't beat the sound of a V8.

I can understand where you are coming from but I am not interested in performance. I dont want to have to change wheels and tires twice a year.

Been there, done that. Plus every other tire site on the internet.
