That's why someone should buy my snow tires and the wheels they're on. I won't have much need for them if I'm moving to Florida or Texas

im gettin mine put on tomorrow. I did a test today with my tires. There was less than half an inch of snow on a small patch of the road out side of my house. I was goin 15km/h and slammed on my breaks just to see how good they grip on snow. I slide 35 feet into the end of my driveway. Im goin with a set of Kuhmo's. Cheap, grip well and come in soooo many sizes.

Yokohama AVS ES100 tires = THE SUCK ouch thats too bad. i have falken ziex ze-512's. have yet to try them in the snow yet, just got them in june, but jdog1385 has them as well and says they work great. have only heard great reviews for these all-season tires. --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
