My Toyo Proxies FZ4 are gone. Before the snow hits I need new tires, so I ordered myself a set of Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred's. I read lots of positive reviews on these has anyone used them on there Contour yet?

Well, when one of my Pirelli 3000 went out, Discount Tire gave me a deal on one of these tires. Can't really say much about one tire, though I have had it for about 10 months, with very minimal wear. All I can say is it seems to last!

Not very sporty, but great hydroplane resistance.

I've had them on my SVT since late last year or something & I love them! Car handles great w/ them, I've tossed the rear out once but that was due to gravel in a curve. They're quiet & pretty good looking, and wet traction is decent. Oh and w/ 720 treadwear rating  they wont show any wear for a while, in normal driving conditions, one reason I picked them!
I don't "mod" I just fix what breaks!

I live In Alabama so I really wouldn't know about snow performance, but check out tire rack they had alot of reviews on them, And you can check all the sizes that they come in.

Why would you need a low profile winter tire? Take the good rims off and put on the crappy ones in the winter. No one is going to be "stylin" in the winter; the car will be dirty the second it leaves the garage.

plus narrow and tall tires are better in the snow anyway, ever see rally racing in the snow?

I've used somthing better for my stock E0's..Michelin Pilot Sport A/S..it came down to the good year and michelin..although the michelin was wicked pricey, it was well worth the money..they were awesome during the New England blizzards, they are amazing in the rain and in dry, they stick like pure glue, its a peeerfect all season tire IMO
