Im gonna be getting winter tires this year and i was wonderin what tires people have experience with and what are good value and traction.

i currently have 14" winter rims with motomaster allseasons and i had a terrible time driving when it snowed last year.

Check option JDM they having sale on the winter tires. If You looking for good cheap tire Nordic ice is good.. OR goodyear Hydro egde.

Get these...

Falken Espia EP-01. They stick to ice/snow like fly in honey.

look at the sidewall of the tire, there will be three numbers on there. we need the last one before the M&S part... so it'll be something like 185R65/14 or 185R60/15 or 195R55/15 or something like that....

we need the part that either says 15 or 14. that's the rim diameter. and for winter tires, I recommend the skinniest ones you can get, so prolly 175R70/14 or 175R65/15.

I like all the brand name rubber out there, but if you are really on the cheap, scoop up either the Motomaster winters or ones from Walmart. Anything is better than old all-seasons.

i had cheap korean winter tires on my car. even though it does not offer great grip compared to nokkians but it's cheap. as long you be aware and cautious of your driving on the road you'll get through winter no problem.

toyo g-02 plus or pirelli 210 are the best imo!

even a cheap(est) brand of winter tires will outperform those moto all seasons when u drive in cold and snow...so get what your budget allows. a friend of mine got those nexens from wal mart last year and he was a happy camper.

ive heard that slimmer tires like 185 vs a wider profile are better for winter bc they cut through the snow as they dont pickup as much snow is this true?

plus you get more weight over a smaller area

skinny tires are better in the snow, but not necessarily on ice. CT sorta discontinued the moto nordic, it's now a new design and called the goodyear nordic.

and I think those rims are 14's

i personally recommend Nokians but i'm currently using the Pirelli Winter Carving tires

crazychinaman

so all in all skinnier tires are better because they can cut through the snow...

wow you learn something new everyday.

I picked up a set of 175/65R14 Nexen Winguard snow tires from walmart the other day at $60/tire, now I'm just looking for some 14" steelies (anyone selling???).

Yes the skinnier the better. You want lots of deep knobbies and many many small cuts in the tread. The deep ***** help in the snow and all the tiny cuts help on the ice. The rubber compound will be a lot softer as well.

im trying to find a used set from tireshops hoping to get them 30-40bones per tire.

MPR

Check in the classified ads here on tcc. There are lots of great deals on wheels and tires of all kinds.

crazychinaman

i did find a set of 195/60/14's .. is that too thick though?!

MPR

A little on the fat side, but they would work. What kind (brand/model) are they?

Crazydragonclk

hey what tire model and brand are the ones u got from walmart, i know someone who has a discoutn there so i might pick those ones up.
