Anyone have a review for winter tires that fit our cars? I'm looking to buy a set as my Yoko AVS-dB's don't enjoy playing on slush or ice.
Good or bad, maybe this thread would be helpful for anyone looking to shop for winter treads.
Dunlop Grasphics DS1's P205/60QR15's
very good tire and the price is low, a set we had going into their third winter gripped better then half worn Dunlop Sport A2's, I never got stuck and didn't fear pulling into the sloped loading zone we have at our building, I never got stuck others did
my father said it was like driving on summer roads, just at a lower speed
I ran alot of highway travel last year with the car also and the tire handled the dry fine, nothing like a performance tire but not bad
one note, or maybe about snow tires in general, I am not sure, even new they don't like large amounts of water on the road, more so when you want to take a bend in the roads at speed
check out the winterforce made by bridgestone firestone. They're very nice, cheap and directional.
I've had Bridgestone Blizzaks (WS-50, 205/55/16) since Jan 1998 and they're still going strong. Excellent snow and ice traction. They have around 15K miles on them and the tread is holding up nicely. Quiet on dry pavement which is a nice benefit of the soft winter rubber compound.
