i dont see any blizzak's for the stock 17's...am i missing something or do they not make blizzaks for that size?

 

They are not listed because TR has sold out this season's supply. If you really want them you have to get them some place else.
I waited too long too. Thats how I ended up with the Conti's. But I'm not disappointed. These tires do as well or better than the Blizzacs in some situations.

 

i only ask because im looking to get either a set of stock 17's or 18's and some blizzaks for next winter

i know 17's will be less expensive and safer for the winte so i might just buy a set of 17's and wait until next season to buy some blizzaks.

 

I got all excited. Tire Rack in the house!!! No coupon code? =( <--Sad face.

 

^+1 I know it sucks, I asked before too and nothing. They should definitely consider G drives a coupon, ohh well discount tires came in cheaper with my KDWs.

 

The Blizzak they made in the oe 225/235 sizes has been discontinued and sold out. The alternate 225/50 and 225/55 stagg fitment they still make, but sold out for the season. Really hard to get snows this time of year. People start buying in Sept

Sorry, can't get anything approved on my end. Wish I could do more but hands are tied.

 

Hoping you guys can assist. I need two rear tires for my 03 coupe (AT) and I have the optional OEM 18" on there now. A separate issue is that the two in the front are getting "cupping" issues (common with these cars apparently) according to the town fair tire guys. The cupping is causing extremely annoying road noise and the tire guys suggested going with an asymmetrical tire after these. The fronts are the OEM tires, can't think of make/ model of the top of my head and these have only ~10k miles MAX of spirited driving.

So i guess my question is I really dont want to change all 4 but absolutely need to change the rears out due to wear and the fronts are making an annoying sound when driving so I might as well just buy 4 matching tires (staggered). I want a 3 season (I live in MA) Spring, Summer, Fall tire. I have a separate set of wheels/ tires for winter. I want decent performance (wet/ dry), I want NO road noise and kinda shying away from the asymmetrical tires because they just don't look as nice in regards to tread pattern; I like the "aqua tread" V look but I'm pretty sure they only come in uni-directional tires. I also need to keep the price down (duh, who dosn't right?).

So I need suggestions where I can keep a similar profile tire to the OEMs, have performance in wet/dry for 3 seasons, have them stay quiet and grippy, but not break the bank.

Thanks in advance!

 

Just put in my order! Thanks Neal!

 

You'll get the best wear and quietness out of a performance all season tire. If you can wait out the 3-4 wk b/o I'd look at the Conti DWS. Been super popular and a great performer so far. Others would be the Dunlop Sport Signature, and Goodyear Eagle GT. These are also all asymmetrical designs to help reduce noise and rotate left/right for even wear.

 

Hi Neal. Great to see support from such a great vendor! I'm in the market for new rubber, with eyeballs on a set of the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110s 245/19/35 front and 285/19/35 rear... I was looking for Invos but it looks like Kal Tire has import rights on them and in my research these look like better tires anyway.

I currently have a price of 764 US for these (off your website) but I was concerned about shipping. Can you im me a shipping quote to Postal Code T1S2J5?

Thanks!

^^ Total shipped on a set with shipping and duties would run $1,121.58. $214 of that is shipping to Canada.

 

Awesome- thanks for the quick reply!

Hi there Neal,

I'm in need of new tires for an '05 G35 Sedan w/sport package (235/45R18). I live in Colorado, and have a set of Blizzak WS-50s mounted on 17" wheels for deep winter. However, I'd like to get these off the car ASAP to save as much life as I can out of those tires.

Basically, I'm looking for an AS tire that can handle the shoulder seasons well. Prefer low noise and good treadlife. One of the tires I've been looking at is the Hankook Ventus V4 ES, but it doesn't look like you stock this size. What else would you suggest? The Conti DWS look very nice, but are a little more than I'd like to pay.

Thanks for any advice you can provide!

 

Neal what's my optimum setup for a 04 coupe? Wheels are 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 in the rear.

 

Neal,

I need some advice for summers... 225/55-17 for stock 2007 G35x. Looking for something that can be driven pretty hard. suggestions?

Rob
