I'm not sure what the price of the Kumho's are, but I highly recommend the Crappy Tire Nordic Icetrac tires. Their cheap and do a pretty descent job.

Didn't Tracey (Copperchick) have some Blizzaks on rims for sale??? They are a great tire and are very aggresive too.

Yup, they're still for sale, in mint condition(2 months driven) and on z28 rims to boot

If you dont' want the rims that's okay because we're thinking of using them for drag slicks

OK how much for just the tires ??

These Kumho's are $340 installed & Balanced ......the crappy tires ones were about 22.00 more .

So i hear they are really good tires ......but i know the blizzaks are also good .....i have 2 on Kell's car !!

To help out Tracy and Craig here, I can guarantee the Blizzaks will grip better. I don't remember the exact amount, but I don't think Tracey was asking alot for them and hers were already installed and balanced on Z28 rims. I'm thinking it was like $400...but I could be totally wrong though.

It's my understanding that the Blizzaks are the best out there as far as snows go. They certainy were great on my car for the 3 months I used them. If you're interested, you know how to get ahold of me. I paid $800 for those tires. You get what you pay for. They're in the Classifieds on our board as well.

Yes, I believe the Blizzaks are the best snow tire out there, just DO NOT use them after the snow is gone because of the soft tire compound they will wear very quickly on dry pavement and warm temperatures. They will wear well on the snow covered roads tho, just don't do alot of unnecessary spinning of the tires and they will last quite well.

Exactly right. They have a very soft rubber compound which is very grippy. I took mine off in March for that reason. I had thought at the time I'd need them for the following season and I didn't wanna wear them out. I ended up buying a Sunfire instead, which is why I'm selling the tires. I'd like see them go to someone from our board cuz they're great tires and I don't need them for my Sunfire. They've been listed for months though and so far, I have had a few nibbles but no one wants to part with the cash.
