Where to get tires??
I need new tires for my 14" OEM steelies. Leaning towards a really good ALL SEASON with good rain/snow traction. Anyone know anyone that can get deals on tires and which tire would be best?
thanks alot

I heard Pirelli has good all season tires. I might be getting 2 for myself soon since I have 2 decent and 2 bad tires combo. My gf just got her car a set of 4 Pirelli (15 inch I believe, or 16? It is for Solara) for 520 everything included (tire balance, labour and whatnot) at a friend's garage.

I also got a second set of rims for summer so I settled for a touring tire instead of a performance tire and went initially for the Michelin X-One. Unfortunately the X-One is discontinued and Michelin's replacement (the Hydroedge) doesn't come in a 185/60R14 or 195/60R14.
Upon that news I did some more research and came across the Pirelli P3000 Cinturato. Every review I read said they were an excellent all-season (obviously some compromise in performance) comparable to the X-One -- even better in some respects. I looked at the tread design and they're definitely oriented for all-season traction (snow, rain & dry).
I called around and got a set of 195/60R14's on my car last week for just under $100 per tire. A very good price for an excellent tire. I suggest checking them out.

$77 each 14' from tire depot.
Do a search for "Falkan Consumer Reprts" and you will find some other feed back..

a tire store...
only YOU can decide what tire is right for you. you drive the car, you know what to expect from your car, you know how much money you have in the bank.
If I wanted an amazing handling winter car, I'd get Hakka tires, but since I only expect my car to drive and no more, I can get away with 25% stock Civic rubber that's been drying out for 6 years. What might do it for some ppl won't cut it for others.

I've been running 14" Toyo Spectrum all-seasons for just over a year now, and for a daily driver they perform really well. Good wet traction, and now at the start of another snow season they're still gripping well. They were suggested to me by the guys at Tirecraft in Concorde (Jane north of hwy 7.) Great guys and they really know their sh*t. Bonus is they have a nice aggresive tread design for an all-season tire. If you're looking for an all-out winter tire, I hear Nokian is sweet...made in Finland.
Hope this helps.
