annyone use these, do they make a big difference, a buddy of mine hooked me up with 4 brand new tires and winter rims for 150$ cnd. but i'm just currious as to what kind of difference i will see

thanks d.p.

 

[soup]

well you wont mess up your good rims with the salt from the snow also better tread = better grip

 

[speedemon]

winter tires have a softer rubber then summer tires, so that you have better traction. but dont use them too much in summer :-?

 

[easye]

i've always just used my stock tires for winter and they work fine.

 

[gearhead_85]

all these comments are very nice but your i would like to hear form someone that actually has winter tires and i don;t want to know if my stock tires are good i want to know if my winter ones are better and how much better if they are

this might osund a little harsh and i'm sorry if it does but....you know...that's the truth

d.p.

I use the same tires... too poor to own 2 sets of wheels. My stock tires are bald and don't really want to replace. And my old rims 2 of them have the metal comin threw them. And if we get alot of snow, the drift bumper will take away some of that.

i bought a beater... a 99 prelude :lol:

 

[sunstealth]

it makes a big difference even if my winter tires are 6 years old (they are almost new lol) they have a very good grip in the snow,just dont press the gaz on the floor

 

[gearhead_85]

thank you very much sunstealth someone finally answered my quesiton

 

[bezal]

You know that the actual topic has to go around the block before gettin anwered lol. Thats just how it works.

 

[mars_man]

Dude, you are missing out, get yourself a winter beater... Nothing can stop my Sidekick, not even ditches (or stop signs for that matter.) LMAO

4X4 plus 31's in the corners = badass winter beater!

mars not all of us dump every penny we have into our cars of have connections at canadian tire to getyou everything like 75% off..point being i have university to pay si o can;t afford a winter beater.

p.s. the sidekick's awesome man , but why don't i ever see you driving the cavy? is it still not done??

 

[outspokin]

As for being 6 years old, you should really buy new tires sunstealth. I just watched on tv this week about tire quality over a few years old.

Winter tires? The best are All Season Tires, preferably a deep good tread will do. Stay away from studs, they're no good.

 

[bezal]

I saw that news clip to. The government thinks that the tire quality after 6 years is poor and that the tires should be replaced. But you know the government, it maybe a scam just to sell more tires... who knows.

 

[sunstealth]

why would I buy new tires my dad have hundred of used tires in the back yard of his garage (mecanic garage) I could just find a good set or tell him to buy me new tires lol (60 $ for 4 cooper winter tires ,better than nothing)

 

[mars_man]

The cavy has been rotting in my driveway $530 a month in insurance is INSANE. (2 tickets, 0 accidents) The Sidekick is $300 a year, cause it is kinda my dads...

I actually might trade the cavy in for a 1999 MXZ 670 HO... stingers, 144 studs, 3200 kl's.

I am sick and tired of that car... too much on isurance, not worth it... for 530 a month, I could make payment on a BMW 5 series and in 5 years have a brand new Beemer for fucks sake!

What a waste!

I am gonna put a sign in the windshield of that car soon..."Free, OBO"

Later.

 

[mrjackson2000]

i need to get a set of steels and some winter tires, anyone know of a good place and rough $$

 

[mars_man]

Should'n be too hard to find... have a look at local buy, sell, trade books... I bet there are some ready to go in there for cheap... Junkyards are also a good place to look, but they like to fuck people over.
