Winter time is just around the corner, just lookin for some recommendations and suggestions on what winter tired ppl r runnin and where to get them...
I live near the and border and I know it is definitely cheaper to get the tires in the US.

 

It's worth doing a SEARCH for this one ... this is a common topic.

Regardless, I run Dunlop Wintersport M3s on Sport Edition F6 16" wheels (painted alloys) from tirerack.com, and they're fantastic.

 

there is a guy selling a set right now... 16" rims with big ole winter tires on them... check it out

 

i just bought these also
Dunlop Wintersport M3s on Sport Edition F6 16" wheels

for 604 shipped to my door.
Or you could get winter tires for the stock 18's for about the same price

 

got dunlop sp sport winter 3d on 16x7 MSW Type 14 Silver

 

damn! cobaltss.net always brings up topics to make me spen money! someone last week brought up the pioneer avic Z! unit, so i bought that 5 mins later, NOW someone brings up winter tires, and i JUST bought some from tirerack.com (also the dunlop winter sport M3) with steelies, well.....i gues i should say THANKS GUYS for keeping me from procrastonating

 

they didn't list steelies for the G5 GT, that's stupid.

ah well how much were they?

I guess my rims weren't much more expensive and will be pimpin'

 

Thanks guys~ 600 for a set of winter tires is not bad, anyone had a better quote?

 

that's what i'm paying, i'm ordering them right now. dunlop m3's.

and steelies.

 

i WAS at 600 but S&H and duties brought me to 800

 

There are a couple of sets going on ebay right now. Both for $500 and under.

 

not too bad for the winter.

 

I bought a set of new take-off HHR 16" wheels for $102.50 shipped for the set of four...not each rim.... I also put on a set of Michelin X-ice tires in 205/60/16. All of that only cost me a smidge over $500 new and on the car.

And they look a somethin' like a this on my SS/SC:

 

i hope you didnt put it on that wheel! the rotation is the wrong way

is that photoshoped, or sis you just lay the tire against your summers and take a pic?

 

it's mounted on the wheels but the wheels aren't mounted on the car yet, you can see the summer tires and rims on the pic.

I didn't even notice that they were directionnal tires before you mentionned it

so that tire should go on the right side of the car right?

how about tire rotation then you can't do side to side only front to back?

 

had me scared for you for a second,saw the tire and thought you got a hold of a crack pipe.LOL!!!!

 

hey guys just as a heads up for tirerack, i ordered tuesday at about 3 or 4 pm, now it's thursday and i will have the wheels today according to ups. that's damn quick shipping

 

hell yeah it took them 3 buisness days to ship to canada!

it was the first time I had seen a package move during a weekend!

 

yea, i'm extremely impressed. quick response to questions as well. companies should strive to have this level of service.

guys, i got my wheels already. less than 2 days from the time ordered. damn impressive. and they look freakin serious! the tread on thes things is pretty intense.

 

what do the M3's look like?

I'd like to compare the thread with my 3d's

 

i'll post a pic later. the tires on the 16" steelies are a little bigger than the stock 18"s with sumitomos. some big ass tread.

I'm ordering these tires with a set of alloys tmrw, seem like a pretty decent price.

 

i like that they're rated superior for snow traction, voted 2nd best in the category, and 93% of people that have used them said they would definitely buy them again. and they were only 85/each. can't beat it. they're big too. i probably won't have them on for a good month at least, hopefully, but i kinda want to see them on the car

 

sure looks good, but doesn't look like a normal winter tire should

but it was ranked #2, close second to my pick on tirerack.com so it should perform well too!

 

Ya tirerack.com is a good company, shipped the next day, i will let you guys know when i get them in, im from vancouver so it will probably be a little while longer for me
