there's 70 bucks MIR for the blizzaks.

550 all in from tires23 for WS80 185/65/15. so after the MIR, it'd cost me .. ah fuck it too high to math.

I had 3 sets of hankook, so gonna try the blizzaks this time.

atleast on the RSX they did. well to be specific they sucked on acceleration, stopping, turning on snow was good. going or stopping on cold dry sucked, squishy as fuck.

jeff i forgot aboot the hankooks. will price them out, alot of ppl seem happy with them.

Went to them for winters and all seasons, they were great and had the best price each time. If you go through the rfd then try to book on a weekday as weekends are crazy for bookings.

ya a few reasons why I swapped already...even tho my summer tires are all seasons anyway. Main reason I didn't want to be doing it in zero degree weather (or close to it), second is the temp is mostly single digits when I'm on the road (early morn, late afternoon/eve) so its snow tire weather anyway. Third I got a big ass nail in one of my summer tires. It wasn't leaking yet but didn't want to risk having the temp drop and it become a problem and/or find myself with a flat.

This way at least i'm all set and done.....earliest Saturday Krown appt thats close by my house is nov 22 so after that point i'll be full winter mode.

Blizzaks are one of the best (excluding Nokians).. It's too bad they're so fucking soft and wear out quick.

Yup, you'll be changing them after 3 season, but for ice traction, especially those glazed over intersections, nothing stops or turns better.
Studded Nokians = heaven. I'm tempted to run them in the city \:\)

Even studless, Nokians are crazy when it comes to grip and tread life, I really don't know how they do it to be honest.

i'd have to agree actually...BUT blizzaks when new are amazing and dont think alti's can match those even new. +1 for the blizz wearing out quicker tho and performance does drop off, but still decent. tho nokians > all above.

im impressed with hankook winters (both variations) for the money nowadays as well.

I'm running Firestone Winterforce on the S10, they are pretty good. No complaints so far, also running them on the wagon this year.

I was responding to "winter beater out" rather than the tire conversation.

WS80's will be kickass man, you'll like them.

Jeffo holy cow - how much? lol ballin'.
on my STI i think i had a similar size but in 18"

can't wait to try these 'all weather' optimo 4S on the R, see if they're bullshit or actually workout ok in the snow.

I just bought those, with carbide steel studs. I'll be interested to see how good they are with all the cold temps and ice here in Saskatchewan.

are the w310 the successor of the ice bears w300? I had them on the rsx and really hated them. found them slippery and no traction in deep snow. I hope they really improved them.

Yup they're the new ones. Never had issues with the 300s though I had them on the IS350. I don't drive though a lot of deep snow though
