Trying to do some research on snow tires to mount to my OEM 17s on my 05 sedan, and this is what tire rack reccommended.



Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60


Anyone else run these or should i look at somthing else?

These are only $116 per tire

I got a set of used WS50s last year for $300. They made my car go from an absolute death trap (on RE050s) to being able to follow the wife in her AWD RX300 no problem. If the WS60s are the replacements, then they are going to be excellent.

But for the limited time I ride on snows (3 weeks), I just looked for an used set. But I admit, you're smart to be starting your search now. I started around the same time last year. Finally found a set on Craigslist.

You're welcome.

 

Im gonna keep looking. But thanks Jeff.

I dont need another set of rims laying in the attic, so im searching for just tires.

My dad challenged me this winter to several races with his car and my (in his terms) 'super dooper snow tires'

lol so hopefully i dont lose lol

 

redlude97 was running some Michelin Alpin tires last year on some coupe 17's. He gave a great review.

 

I've heard pretty good things about the Blizzaks.

 

I run these in winter and they're pretty good. I think my GY Ultra Grip Ice may have been better, but hard to tell since they were on a FWD car. Search in the Cdn section for Blizzak, you'll get tons of info.

 

I run them... Not sure of the model but they were great when it mattered.

 

Buy them now if you can around October winter tires in 17-18" get hard too come by at least in Alberta they do. I would think MN would be about the same.

 

Dude. Offer the guy $400-$450.

You demount the tires and sell the wheels for at least $300. Maybe $350.

 

Want to get new though lol


Wayne told me about Dunlop Winter Sport M3s. Its a performance winter tire, so it will be easier to drive on in the winter when the roads arent covered in snow.

Might run them.

 

I have the Winter Sport M3s. We had a lot of snow in Toronto last year and they performed flawlessly. The fact I have AWD also helps of course. Also great on dry pavement, quiet and still able to take the corners. I bought mine on sale from Tire Rack. These tires are recommended by my local BMW dealer for their M series cars which is a pretty good indication of their handling ability.

 

I have the Kumho snow tires.. They are one of the "cheaper" ones.. but they performed very confidently.. I have RWD and live in Colorado, it snowed here last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats probably what i will get then lol
