Winter tires
Winter tires
I have been searching for a great set of winter tires to put on my stock 15 honeycombs for a few weeks now and I was wondering what everyone else uses to get throught the snow and ice. It gets fairly deep and icy in Wyoming at times so I want a real good tire. I would be interested to hear what the Ice Racer uses for his tires as well.

Mmm, I haven't actaully used winter tires yet, but I just put on a pair of Bridgestone Potenza's, and they stick VERY good for all seasons. I live in saskatoon, so we get a few big dumps of snow every year.
Blizzaks are the best i hear for winter tires..

Re: Winter tires
This is a question for me .
You said ice racer, this is what we use here in Québec for ice racing:
Seriously, if stud tire are not illegal in Wyoming, get some Nokian Hakkapelita 5 with stud. If not, stick with major brand they almost all have good product, i personnoly have some Goodyear Ulra Grip on my wife car that are not bad

Sweet thanks for the replies guys. Studdbed tires are not illegal in Wyo and there is a tire dealer for the nokian hakkapeliitta 5's like 2 blocks from my house so I am positive im going to get those. they looked plenty good for the icy roads of wyo.

Re: Winter tires
A set of Michelin Alpine A3 is supposed to be the best winter tires here in Denmark (FDM test), don't buy the cheapest tires you can find, they are pure crap
Re: Winter tires
I just put on a set of Hankook iPike 409 tires, and they are incredible!
They are studable, but I opted for the non-studded ones, and I am amazed by the braking grip I get on snow and ice.

Re: Winter tires
well I tried to get the haka 5's however the tire company couldnt find nay available in the U.S. so I opted for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi which should be a great snow tire as well. I will keep an update once I get them on and do some driving but all I have read on them so far ws nothing but High praises and the dealer said they were an excellent choice.
