Tires

Just got home. It snowed a decent amount and I made it home ok. Mostly in part to my Blizzack tires. I most certainly would have been stuck if not for the tires. The 240 is not the best snow car, but can be fun to drive in the snow.

how are blizzacks on a 240? i was thinking about getting some snow tires for this winter but its already half way through winter so ill stick with the all seasons. just want to kno cuz i might get some next year

I like em. They perform excellent (for snow and general bad weather). I only have 2 for the rear, but it is enough to keep me from getting stuck. The only wierd thing is they don't like high speed too much. After I get off the Interstate and get out of my car, I smell burnt rubber. The only thing I can think of is the tires are a super soft compound and are being overheated because of the extream alignment of the 240. It hasn't caused any problems as of yet.

By the way, you probably can't find any this time of year. If you do they will be overpriced. Look in the early fall, late summer. I just bought some junkyard steel wheels to mount them on. Looks dorky with the alloys on the front, but is better than being stuck on the side of the road!

Good call. I got mine from a firestone dealership. I got a good price, but it was because the Satrun dealership I worked for dealt with em. The Tire rack or Discount tire would be a good place to get them if you can find someone to mount them for you.
