wrong





Hanhook 300 and ipike is available
or yokohama W drive

just got myself a set of yokohama Guardex K2 F720.. pretty good in teh snow so far i guess. i decided to test out the tires in my back alley. i got stuck because there was simply too much snow. after 20mins of effort, i managed to get the car out then as i drive i almost swerve in to a ditch because the "tracks" are all messed up...:cry:

yeah i've been SOL finding my tire size locally. advance found what i needed, but they have the ship it out of the US mideast somewhere, but it was $300 cheaper and 1 week faster than what i was quoted locally.

anyone taking off snow tires yet? Get'n warm.

it is, but im keeping an eye on the weather, we are suppose to get a few more flurries...

not if you work early in the morning... had some black ice yesterday at 5am-ish. but then getting off work in the afternoon my temp gauge was showing 12'c?!? :eek:

Snow/winters should stay on until the temperature stays above 7C consistantly. :(

Bump.

I was about to get the X-Ice 2 this year but I read that they're terrible in deep snow. Ended up with a set of Blizzak WS-70's. What'd you guys get?

ive got the x-ice2 never read that about deep snow when i got em oO

never drove them thru what id call Deep snow either but they've been great so far (last winter and now)

Yeah something about how they're optimized for ice and the tradeoff was grip in deeper snow? I guess ice is probably the biggest worry around here though.

ah i see guess i'll find out if we get dumped on this year :/ (still hoping for lots of snow though!)

I'm rollin on a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R this winter.

general arctic altimax on one
bridgestone ws70 on the other

I bought General Arctic Climax last winter and never had a chance to really use them. Hopefully, I'll be able to test them out a bit this year. :D

How many seasons do winter tires usually last?

Lol Artic Climax... for when it's jizzing snow? ;)

Depends on how much you drive, that's how long they last.

ranked no.1 best snow tires in its class

Too bad there weren't any snow comparisons in that test =(.

And they all performed pretty well identically in the ice rink. So the only real differentiating factors were noise, dry/wet road handling, and responsiveness, which I care very little about compared to snow and ice performance.

actually i know all four of them are fairly close


BUT, BUT COnti has the best price

which is a huge plus

Wtf serious? I always thought Continental tires were frickin outrageously expensive! Isn't it always OEM on euro cars?

no man

for example

my size 225 45 17

conti $133


Michi

$146



EDIT my bad

Dunlop $123 a piece USD



Bridgestone $145 USD a piece

couple of my buddies bought COnti ultra all season DWS ranked no.1 in its category, they were super pleased with it as well as fairly reasonable pricing (in fact it was actually fairly cheap for what it is)


IM in love with conti tires, dont think im gonna switch to any other brand.

Tried falken, kumho, mich (expensive) dunlop etc


General was definitely best bang for the buck and i was satisfy with it

however im going to switch to Conti DW its max summer tires and give it a try, ranked top 2 in its class, on par with Mich PS2 max summer except its nearly half the price


a lot of high end euros likes to use Conti tires, porsche for one


max summer testing results

18" 156 a piece for conti

mich ps2 costs $214 a piece

Pirelli $225 a piece

good year $175 a piece

I'm using Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice&Snow II's. 88 bucks each through a dealership hookup. I think they're Michelin's value brand?

Gislaved Nord Frost 5. Swedish awesomeness. :)
