Winter tires

[Thannatos]

i just bought me a set of winter tires what do you guys think http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ZWS60

I've had Blizzaks on my prev G for several years, and they worked great. The only thing I would say is to get them off the car as soon as the pavement warms up above 15C. I've been pretty anal about that and I'm going into my 5th year with a decent amount of tread left. Luckily they fit my A/C also.

Nice. I used to have a set of Blizzak Revo 1s and they were by far the most phenomenal winter tire I'd ever used. From what I can gather, the WS-60s are very similar. My only complaint (and it's something of a dealbreaker for me with the Coupe), is that they were absolutely horrible on dry pavement, but that's to be expected with their level of grip in snow and ice. I'm currently running Hankook Icebear W400s and they grip dry pavement like a mofo. When they need to be replaced, I'll probably be going for a set of Blizzak LM-25s. Bridgestone is a great brand!

what is sad is that these tires have a better rating on dry pavement that the stock 2.5 tires, oh and what tires should i get for the summer because my front tires are completely bare.

Yeah, the stock ContiProContacts are foul! haha

For summer, if you've got the $$$ I'd suggest Toyo T1Rs or Proxes 4s. I'm currently running General Exclaim UHPs which, at their price point, are fantastic. Bit of a soft sidewall and they don't have quite the grip that I'd like, but considering I got them for about $85/tire there really isn't muchh to complain about!

[Thannatos]

well whats a good tire for about $90 to $120 since my tax return will be like $800

My Dad got them for his '08 Rogue SL and I read the reviews on them, these are considered one of the best. Of course they are a bit expensive.

As for me I went with Hankook iPike W409's, I had no problems last year and the price was great.

[Thannatos]

they weren't that much, I only paid 96 a piece, our stockers are over 100

do you guys think its a good idea to take a road trip to Colorado towards the end of December? i know, sort of random. my mom and sis want to go but my sis wants to fly and my mom wants to drive. if we drive we'll either drive my A/C or my mom's 07 Maxima or my dad's E500 benz (benz is RWD so probably not the best cuz of the weather). i've NEVER driven in snow or ice (only drove in hard rain a couple times lol). Colorado is known for snow and especially December time..... what are your guys/gals thoughts? and if we drive, should we bring chains?

[Thannatos]

number one rule of snow, drive sllllooooooooooowwwww and get some tires for a trip that long but chains are okay too but illegal in most states

Winter has fully arrived for us! I am winter ready I got CooperTire Weather Master winter tires, rubber floor mats, and remote start is being installed in two weeks. I have had my tires on for a few weeks and that was a good call because now there is a shortage of winter tires in Canada.

I have been on this forum for a while but never posted any pics. I cleaned my car today and thought it would be a good day for a photo shoot.

[nogears909]

hey CanadianCoupe is it ur car i always see at BBB's on Henderson?

[CanadianCoupe]

No, I dont go there

[Thannatos]

guys the blizzaks are freakin awesome I drove them in the rain today and for the first time ever i was able to take 90 degree turns at over 40 mph and some of those times i turned in too much because i was driving as if i had the proconti's

[CanadianCoupe]

I know! The winter tires have made a huge difference. I have been plowing through the snow while I see a bunch of people sliding through intersections.

On my last car, I used Michelin X-ice and they were excellent. Cheap too at $90 (CDN) each. Like most good winter tires though, you need to get them off as soon as the snow stops flying.

Drove the A/C in snow last night for the first time. The stock tires were an adventure!

I put my Hankook iPike W409's today. Last night we got wet snow and my OEM's couldn't even handle it.

Another benefit of buying Winters! Amazing in the Rain.
