suggestions on new tires

[ruthless351]

I think you should look into the Nokian WR'S. They are a great all weather tire. I've sold quite a few this month. I could get you a price on two on monday.

IMO you should man-up and get some proper winter tires. I hate it when rednecks here have bald ass shit tires in their one-wheel-drive trucks and just spin like mad trying to take off from a light.. and don't even BOTHER trying to stop when the light turns red.

Coincidentally, I'm selling a set of 4 Blizzak WS-50s. they're 195/65R15. Plenty of tread left. These list new for about $80 a tire. I'd let mine go for a fair bit less than that, and there'd be no tax or shipping. You cannot run them in the spring, summer, or fall, but they are untouchable on ice and snow.

Also, if you get real tires, get a set of 4. You don't want to drive the car with wacked out handling.

I would appreciate that.

I sell both Traction T/A's and Goo9's and both SUCK in the winter. And there's NO better tire in the winter than Nokians....NONE!!!! Not even Blizzaks. I sell them both too.

I run a 195/55/15 Kumho all season. Great and right around 200$ for a set of four. I use to roll on falkens and loved those also....

That's interesting to hear. Reading consumer reviews, most are favorable to the BFG's and Bridgestones in the winter; more-so than most other tires in their price range.

I can't find much UNBIASED information on the Nokians anywhere but am open minded and will continue to research.

Thanks for the opinions.

I have the G009's on my grand am and suck for acceleration, okay for stopping but pretty good for turning on ice and snow. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone but for mild performance use.

Look at the pics and then decide.

Traction T/A

G009

Nokian WR

As far as reviews go, I don't put alot of faith in what <u>user's</u> reviews say. Alot of times, they are comparing the tires being reviewed to the OE tire that came off. Usually, the OE tire sucks and when replacing an old tire with a new one... The new one almost always seems better.

The integra had brand new potenzas on it when I bought it, and when I noticed the front two wearing out (damn you, misalignment) I replaced them with newer potenzas, I think 009's. I'd have to go look at which model each was.. but I liked the old potenzas better up front in the winter. Nice traction for the rest of the year, though.

Looking at just tread pattern - those nokians look really nice for snow.
