    Which Tires?

    We just got our first good snow since I got back to NE.... And unfortunately I found out alittle late that all 4 tires are completely bald.... I have no traction what-so-ever.... I was curious, What would you guys recomend for stock rims... I need something with good traction in snow... BUT, I do not want to sacrifice performance and handling during nice conditions.....

    I've been considering...

    Dunlop SP Sport A2
    Yokohama Avid H4
    Bridgestone Turanza LS-H
    Kumho Ecsta HP4 716
    or
    Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce

    Any feed back is greatly appreciated
    thanx

    Get 4 snow studded tires. They work awesome in the snow and ice.

    I know from experience the Yokohamma's and the Pirelli's will do pretty shitty in the snow.

    Last year I had bridgestones and they were horrid, this year I am running general exclaims($65 a piece mounted and balanced) and they are good for cornering(40K mi. tire) and excellent in the snow. I know these aren't the ones on your list, but i figured it might help. The exclaims are also great in the rain, they hydroplane very little compared to other car tires I have driven.

    Get Either toyo z800 ultras siped, or get Kumho 793's siped, both are good for the stock look, the 793 is good for snow, but it looks like crap, and has a horrible run time. I would recomend the toyo, but it is not great in the snow, even when siped. But, it is the best tire we carrie at schwab's for all around driving . That's the best I can do

    I've been using the Dunlop Sport A2s for about 18 months. They've been wearing out much faster that expected, but I have autocrossed them several times. They have been able to take any amount of rain very well, but I haven't had to try them in the snow.
