Summer/Winter Tires

Postby tazer » Wed Mar 31, 2004 12:21 pm

I got the MT so Obviously from what I've read i got the Summer Only tires. Kinda sucks b/c I do live in NY and I was wondering if anyone tried not buying new tires and if you did where'd you get them and how much $ am I looking at? Oh yeah any other suggestions online besides tirererack. Thanks

Tire Rack has the best on-line prices. But, for completeness, I should mentioned that you can also look at http://www.discounttiredirect.com and http://www.victoriatire.com.

look for 16" steel wheels. these will be the cheapest and less likely to piss you off when you hit an unseed curb.

It would be easier to go with tires and rims. That way you could just swap the steelies with stocks when the winter comes and won't have to worry about mounting the rubber every winter.

I seen rims on http://www.victoriatire.com that were like 1200 or something around there for like 20's. If i could possibly purchase them i guess i would get winter tires and just stell my 18's stock...think that would be the right thing to do? B/c if i just buy tires its going to be how much do you think?

Do they even have steel wheels that will clear the Brembos? I can;t think of any. Just something to consider.

I'm pretty sure that steelies will not fit over the brembos. I hadn't even thought of that.
