Well first off I drive the hell out of my car and even though I have only had my car a little over a year I have went through 3 sets of crappy Pirellis. And I rotate my tires regularly. Of course for a while there I kept getting nails and pieces of metal in my tires. Didnt help going to the drag strip either. Anyhow I'm on my 4th set and didnt have much money for tires this time. So I looked on Ebay and there's a company called Eastcoasttires. They have Free UPS shipping on all there tires I think. I bought 4 Nexxen N3000's (225/40/ZR-18)for 315.00 (noon one day). And they arrived by 2 pm the next. They are Directionals with an aggressive tread style. I really like them alot (better then any Pirelli ever). Havent been in snow but I can fly in wet weather without breaking traction or hydroplaning (of course not very fast in turns on wet roads thats just stupid). Just an idea of something to look into for anyone that needs a good tire and is short on cash around the holiday season. Laterzzzz

goodyear wrangler SR-A's on my ram for the winter, Monte is on blocks till the snow stops

you can drive on super shitty tires, slow down for conditions, 80% of winter accidents can be avoided.

There was a kid in my driving school, And i guess his mom seen his dick by accident and started calling him tripod, Well he made the mistake of telling some of his freinds who told everybody at driving school so we all started calling him tripod, Even the driving teacher until she realized why we called him that so then we started calling him chode Fun times....

Blizzaks for me because I got a good deal on them... any snow tire is going to be kick ass in winter though.
apparently you just don't know how to drive in the snow. I have never had the need for snow tires... never been in an accident in the winter!

I use the pull out method.



For now Pirelli PZero Rosso for right now. When I bought my car I had the option for "Free tires for life" which is a total of 2 sets of tires at no cost to me. But, my next set will come on a set of Konig Again 5's with some BFGoodrich G-force KDW.

Goodyear Eagle F1's 225-45-18

-- These tires have prooved excellent in rain/snow/sleet. We recently had an ice storm in Missouri(STL) and they gripped just fine. I was passing other cars on the highway with confidence. I went with the 225-45-18 instead of 215-45-18(stock size on ss/sc). I recamend them!!!
-- Also I had pirelli's and I felt un easy in certain situations. The F1's have rim protection!!!

Pirelli Pzero Rosso's for summer of 05.......Blizzak Revo 1's for winters...........Pzero Nero's for the last summer.

The Revo's are the best tires I've ever owned......they rock!!!!! The Nero's suck ass!!! and next June I'll test the Turbo Cobalt and decide........do I trade my 05 supercharged or just go for somthing totally different!!! I don't know. We will see!!!!!!!!! What do you think I should do???

I forgot to say..................I dated someone on Lavalife and I had to get a restraining order on her!!!!!!!!!!! So I don't care about Rubbers........just keep your back up and your eyes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no we get snow and what not, not bad or anything. but i am what you call a experienced driver. the stock perelli's are not BAD for traction anyways. in the rain i dont spin also in the snow i do not.
