Right now I have worn out ?Hercules? 215/65/15s on the rear with one Radial TA 235/60 and some other Firestone 235/60 on the front. I should replace the rear tires sometime soon. I have a discount through the dealership I work at. I believe I could get Radial TAs in 215/65 for 86, and a type of Blizzacks for 96 give or take a few dollars. There was a Firestone tire that had the word winter in it, and I could have that for $57 each.

What do you use in the winter?

Winterforce M+S tires...got to try them on the Jeep today in the snow and it was unreal! Seriously far better than I could have ever expexted. Scary good.

Great thing is? Cost me 42 dollars each from tirerack. They test almost as good than the blizzaks, but blizzaks are rated higher for ICE...snow, it's a wash.

I did last winter, and I will again. My mother drives the 90 formula with a ZZ4 in the winter, and my dad uses an 87 Monte Aero Coupe.

Yea winterforce sounds like the ones I could get for $57. Tirerack doesn't have many options for sizes with that tire.

Currently Run Blizzak LM22's on my STi...If I would not have bought winter wheels I would be running some Nokian WRs or Hakkapalita RSi's.

Ran LM22's on my wifes former G35 coupe.

Falken 512's on my former S2000 :alcoholic :punch: :chair: Dumb on my part.

Eagle RSA's on our old A4 Quattro.

Otherwise Stock All season tires on our other cars we have had.

I used Blizzaks on my old Maxima and I loved those tires. Those would grip like a mofo even in 6" of snow. Until I get a winter beater, I am using F1s on the Formula but for the Durango its got fulltime AWD so I dont care. :goof
