Which one of these winter tires has the best C/P ratio
Hello Guys,
Just wondering in all your expert opinions, which one of these winter tires has the best Cost/Performance ratio?
Bridgestone Blizzak ws60 94R $210.00 CAD
Continental ContiWinterContact TS790V $200.00 CAD
Hankook w300 94V $ 160 .00 CAD
I ain't gonna do Need-For-Speed type of driving during the winter here in Toronto Canada but it does get really cold and have lots of snow at times....
so i guess a good set of winter tires is quite important here..
Thank you guys in advance

I just bought a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin2 (V rated). Calgary doesn't get that much snow but the roads are usually cold and dry so I need something better suited to those conditions.
Check out Nokians too - the Finns do know a thing or two about tires. The RSi is nice but squishy and pricey.

there are normal winter tires and performance winter tires. the performance winter tires won't be good for cost. the m3's that were suggested are performance ones, as are pilot alpines and pirelli 210 wintersports (which i use).
if you don't have brembo's, you'll have more options since u can go down to a 17" rim and get regular winter tires which are less expensive.

if you have brembo's, the asa JH3 17 inch rims will clear them. I run 17s with blizzaks for the winter on my 03 coupe 6mt. I think there might be a clearance sale for blizzaks ws 50 at tirerack for about 109 us (that is for 17s) the last time I checked. You might want to take a look at their site.

Depending on the offset of the rim. I have Brembo's with a set of 17'' rims and winter tires that fit properly. They are ASA rims with a wide offset to compensate for the Brembo's.

i ordered a suspension link once for my triumph motorcycle.. and had them put it under "off-road use." the duty was waived for me. there's lots of loopholes in the tariff codes if u can find them and be a bit sneaky.
