I'm gonna buy my tires now, so I can get ready for winter. So what expirence do you guys have with winter tires? What brands are good?
I'm thinking the Bridgestone Blizzak's. $77 for a stock tires size. (Stock GT wheel) Another worry I had, was how wide the stock alloy's are. This post has been edited by Coomer: Jul 13, 2004 - 1:28 PM -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I had blizzaks for a couple seasons. Best thing going for snow. I never had a lick of problems with them. Amazing grip in slush and snow. Tread blocks are a little deep for dry pavement, and you'll feel a lot of tread squirm if you push them hard under dry circumstances, but if you live in an area when the streets are almost always wet in the winter, then I highly recommend the Blizzaks.

I agree with Manta. I live in a northern climate and bought Continental Extreme Contacts allseasons. BTW, stock rim width on a GT is 7".

my low pros on 19's work great in winter.
... great for drifts ... great for sliding ... great for rear ends ...  I, too, also use Stockers in the winter. Roadrunners. They cost 35 bucks per tire through my dealership. Great traction in snow but wear out fast so they get replaced each year. However, no need for them this year. I'm buying a second vehicle. w00t! |
