Fred, Please call me back. Your phone cut out right in the middle of the phone number and I didn't get a complete number.

Nismo:

Even tho many folks recommended the Michelin Sport A/S, i decided I wanted somehting more wintry, especially since i have seperate summer performance tires.

I was looking for a winter tire that would be very competent in snow/icy conditons yet not fall to pieces, on a fast drive on a dry road .

A lot of snow tires cant handle the combination of temps above 50F and fast driving and I figured I would encounter that even tho I really wanted good icy/snowy features too.

I was willing to pay premium for a tire that meets my needs of being able to rely on the car even in very bad winter weather, yet be able to travel quickly in a mild winter as I travel form state to state tho I never go real far south)

In the end I went with the Michelin Alpin PA2's.I thought I would have to spend a grand for a setpof premuim winter-Sport tires like these but I only paid approx $600.

This makes it easy to have safe+ good tires on the car!

hows it goin grant? ive been meaning to order some winter tires, most likely will go with the package deal so i dont have to worry about mounting and balancing. but the tire rack web site is not letting me veiw the package deal anymore, it just keeps on going back to asking for my model and year. anyway i think we've got some snow coming up this weekend so ill probably give you a call tomarrow. my summer performance Z rated pirellis are already having a tough time in the cold alone, haha.
