Im already prefering for this coming winter and it looks like i will be driving my Z in the snow which i refuse to do but i have no choice this is my only car.

Anyway i need a set of WINTER TIRES front and back that will fit on oem 17" wheels with enough treads. Im in NoVA.

 

Hit me up if you need winter tire advice.

 

I have a set of 17" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S that I can't use. They have about 3000 miles on them. They are down in NC at my parents house, but I could get them up here if you are interested. Asking $300 for them.

 

/\ arent those all season tires, what size are they??? i was thinking of getting falken ziex ze 512 all season

 

Yeah, they are all season. I ran them in the snow with no problems. They are 225/50/17 235/50/17.

 

/\ check your pm

whats the condition of the tires and where are you located, im 30 mins from DC.

 

Also interested in hearing responses. Running Ecsta ASXs right now and they were OK in light winter use last year. Thinking of going with LM22s this winter.

 

I switched to Falken Ziex 512's for the Z and ran GREAT all winter long (and summer too). Great all season tire for a great price. I wound up switching to them for my other car too.

 

cant beat the blizzak,s for snow and slush.i can even out pull a fwd car up a snowy hill with the blizzaks on.just make sure you do all 4 or youll be sorry.

 

I posted Consumer Reports recommendations several times. Please search.

 

Thanks, how are the blizzaks the rest of the time on dry roads? In this area we really only get what 8-10 really bad days a year and the roads are treated fairly quickly. I would plan on putting them on @ Thanksgiving and running them till March.

Just starting to wonder if its worth the hassle of now changing tires twice a year given the area we live in.

 

question: what's a really bad winter tire? reason I ask -- since our cars are rear-wheel & all, is it really worth getting a "winter" set of tires? I ran the Pilots on my stocks last year and they were fine, I guess. biggest reason I would switch my setup would be to not run my rims in snow & salt and all...

anyway...

 

Id personally recomend a beater car.. they can be had for $500 ~ $1000.. with minor issues that you can easly fix yourself. All the chemicals they use on the roads here are hell on your wheels, and paint.

 

Bad Weather + Crappy Beat up Car that might not be safe = Disaster

I would buy a set of winter tires on cheap rims and switch out if I lived in a Snowy state. VA winters just arent that bad, even in the mountains. (WV Winters are the same) so a good all season tire is your cheapest bet. (Having 2 sets is the best though)

 

I'll take my FWD '00 escort ZX2 in the snow anyday over my roadster.

 

We've got some very affordable 18" wheels (18x8.5/18x9.5) on hand...it might be an good alternative to throwing snows on your stock wheels.
