For those who's thirdgen's are daily drivers, i have this update. During the first snow of the season here in NYC i was stranded at work by my otherwise wonderful Yokohama AVS tires. since then i made the uncharacteristically good decision to buy snow tires. Today NYC got a healthy 6-8 inches of snow, all i can say is WOW. What an unbelievable difference!!! I could pass just about anything on th highway with my firestone winterfire snow tires. Its like driving a regular tire on dirt. I am now totaly confident in my car's ability to get me through a bad storm. I seem to be able to out turn and accelerate most front drivers and many 4wd's. And driving is a blast with them. They are also pretty good in the dry, they ride really nice compated to the Yoks and handle acceptably. great way to spend 65 bucks on tires

 

I hope you put them on all four corners?

 

Cool.. I too have run snow tires on all 4. With snow tires 3d gens do quite well in the snow.. Much better than my 2 wheel drive truck in fact. The only problem I ever had was when the snow was so deep the air dam was pushin it like a snow plow.

 

i dont know what kinda tires i have, but they work well in the snow...

 

i don't think i'd want to try and take my car out in the snow. i got caught out in the rain once with the goodyear eagle gt's on the car currently. they're 245/60/15. they suck in the rain.

 

actually its a blast to have several hundred HP and good snow tires. Yes they are on all 4 wheels. I keep posting about it because i'm so surprised how good they are, i can outrun most cars at stoplights in the snow and just for kicks i told a coworker witha $52,000 yukon denali how i can whup him in the snow. i haven't tried yet, maybe next time we get afew inches

 

What size are the snows? For a 16" rim?? My Dunlop SP5000's absolutely suck in the snow... I can hardly get up my driveway. They are even tough in the rain. I'm sure posi doesn't help, but she really has trouble not kicking out sideways with even a little throttle in a wet cornor. Very bad when accelerating on a tight onramp onto the Thruway.

 

i'm running 215/65-15's on my old z28 rims. they are available in many sizes but skinny is better in this case.

 

65 bucks a tire??? hell ill just buy them from now on. sure beats 100 bucks each.
