Winter tires...any suggestions

Post by Brainless »

My yokohama winter tires are worned out so I need a new set. I was thinking about Michelin Artic Ice but I heard they're not really good on low weight car.

Any suggestions?

Get some nice Nokians. They are alittle noisy but probably one of the best winter tire brands out there.

I tried the kumho kw-11's this year. They're damn cheap and work very well. Really surprised me.

Bridgestone Blizzaks!!! They kick the living c r ap out of every snow tire out on the market. I don't have them on my car...cause they are too expensive. But my dad has em' on his MX-6 and holy ****, you can actually feel em' gripping to ice and snow. All other snow tires SUCK, including mine lol.
